CEGUI Demo7 with Wobbly Windows (again)

This again shows Demo7 with the wobbly window effect in place. This video was made using the code in renderer-rewrite-devel branch as of 26th January.

You can see the content of the windows is shifted downwards, this is caused by the inner-rect / client area fix that finally allows proper window placement, though I've yet to update the xml layouts to remove the previous compensations which is why it looks wrong in this video.

I don't know if I would want to use a GUI system that could do that. The implication is that the developers spent a lot of time making the system do cool tricks and less time making it useful.

This kind of thing may be attractive, but generally not to programmers who actually want to get things done. And those are really going to be the people who put CeGUI out there.

@GeneralBolas

The wobbly window effect seen here is not part of the core library, but rather just something added to one of the demo applications. I can reassure you that this effect was created in a couple of hours one afternoon - and no widgets were neglected during it's creation ;)

Luckily, by the time any provision at all was made for such effects the code base had already had five years of development, was already useful, and already in use by projects such as Torchlight from Runic Games.

Ouch, not a bad idea, but it looks a little strange by now!

[ceguiproject]

Yeah, a while back this was 'all the rage', though nowadays not so much I guess ;)

It's still a good 'strong' effect to show in videos and such though :D

Really cool!!! I like it a lot.
