GUI Themes/TODO

We plan to implement a new GUI look & feel in ScummVM, roughly based on the new look of our web site. Some concept drafts of the new look can be found here: http://www.thekrest.de/wip/scummvm/

You can also read the documentation on the GUI Themes.

To Do

Add possibility to specify shadow types to widget classes and to individual widgets
Theme hints too
List widget
- get mock-up from Krest
- shadows under lists. We do not enable those because of missing scrollbar mock-up
- right side padding
- fix caret misaligning
PopUp widget (aka drop-down list)
- get mock-up from Krest
- shadow is wrong
- right side text padding
Tab widget
- tab widget is drawn completely wrong now
  - though it would be nice to leave current drawing style and select them via widget property
Editable text widget
- fix caret misaligning
Button widget
- top line should be drawn with lighter color to make it look more natural
Slider Widget
- top line should be drawn with lighter color to make it look more natural
Checkbox widget
- smaller version of widget for 320xY resolution
Dialogs
- Scumm save/load dialog
  - put thumbnail and save properties inside one container. Container code is missing now
- About dialog
  - looks bad. Probably add some shadows and text padding
  - fix glitch at the top of the dialog where part of the characters get stuck
  - [Classic theme] Text seems to be drawn over the dialog frame. At least at the top of the dialog.
  - Often (always?) crashes when changing from 1x to 2x, or from 2x to 3x scaler.
- Chooser dialog (add/edit game)
  - proper coloring and list shadow
  - The text "Norwegian BokmÃ¥l" isn't rendered correctly since our fonts do not have the letter "Ã…".
    - If we decide to use Latin-1 fonts instead, we should also update the About dialog to use accented characters where appropriate.
- Debug console
  - Slow when typing commands. Perhaps the redrawing could be made more intelligent. (I haven't looked at how it works currently.)
  - The text is bordering on unreadably small.
  - Does not restore the old mouse cursor when closed.
Cursor handling
- Cursor "jumps" in SCUMM games when opening/closing the F5 menu. (Or, more likely, when going between overlay and non-overlay mode.)
