    oh yeah, that sounds like what I want, I think. I would prefer all styles remain in css, rather than having some in Haxe code. Can you have multiple themes, and have them inherit from a "base" theme
  • e
    would it make more sense for haxeui-hxgodot to be "more like" a native backend and use Godot's ui components and styling or "more like" a composite backend where everything is drawn basically 🤔
  • f
    You could also do like the old html5 where you could chose native for a component or not. I don't know enough godot to help in your decision
  • b
  • b
    i think it would a) depend on the "fullness" of the godot UI and b) how well / easy it would map to haxeui - in general "native" backends are a lot more work
  • b
    the module.xml for that is:
    Copy code
    xml
<module>
    <themes>
        <customTheme parent="default">
            <var name="normal-background-color-start" value="#FFCCCC" />
            <var name="normal-background-color-end" value="#FF8888" />
            <var name="normal-border-color" value="#FF2222" />
            <var name="accent-color" value="#FF2222" />
            <var name="normal-text-color" value="white" />
        </customTheme>
    </themes>
</module>

    Oh awesome! Thanks. I was just about to ask what "customTheme" was is this case, and where it was getting the red from! Thanks!
  • b
    fyi, on the builder you can do View -> Project
  • b
    then you can see all the files that were used
  • r
    OOhhhh, this changes everything! haha
  • r
    very cool!
  • b
    so for your stuff, you can basically just do what the default theme does: http://haxeui.org/builder/?25c2d3f8
  • r
    oh yeah, that is super cool. I will give that a go.

    godots ui stuff is pretty extensive what kinds of "elements" would a "native" backend need to have to make it worth using? godot has containers, buttons, dropdowns, text edit boxes, sliders, etc that seem like they could be easily mapped to elements in haxeui
  • e
    heres one of their example images for what nodes it has
  • f
    Maybe you can begin with composite ( as it's less work) and add the native ? I would think composite is cool for normal godot users that want would another gui, and native is cool for haxe users who want to haxify godot
  • e
    well the godot ui is fully styleable already
  • e
    that image is the default look, but you can change basically everything about it if you want

    like this is also using godots ui tools
  • a
    hehe everyone making haxeui backends
  • a
    this is actually super cool 😄
  • a
    from the looks of it godot employs the mentality that haxeui does for composites when it comes to custom components
  • a
    their components might not actually be "real" native, but simply provided composite buttons
  • a
    I'm not sure if this will make sense
  • a
    if the above is true, the route to go might be composite backend and expose the native control options through some kind of haxeui flag
  • e
    well yeah, the buttons are not native buttons
  • a
    if you go native backend, you'd get default native skinning
  • e
    when i said "native" (in quotation marks) i meant mapping haxeui elements to godot nodes, not literally native ui stuff
  • a
    yeah, my bad, i read it like wxwidgets native
