Hi,
We are happy to announce that the extreme shape controls for wxWidgets toolkit, is now released for alpha.
Please note, This is no not part of the standard distribution of wxWidgets, and it is commercial
The new package contains various controls, to replace the existing standard controls.
The current distribution contains the following controls:
- Popup Menu - With more exciting and cool look (MS Office 2003, MS Office 2007) - Note currently New menu bar is WIP
- Styled Notebook - an extenstion to eranif's wxFlatNotebook, with more styled tabs and addition features (colourful tabs)
- Various buttons, with various styles (flat, semi flat, MS Office 2003/2007), all buttons has an option to add image to it.
- Menu Button
- Colour Picker
- Label book - window container with labels to the sides, can contain images, bitmap skin
- Image Book - another window container, similar to FireFox Options dialog
- Simple TimeGraph - time based graph (Similar to MS task manager CPU usage graph)
More controls are currently under development.
All API are subject to change based on feedback.
Supported platforms:

Future releases, will include Pre build distribution for Linux.

Hi! Good work! However if that's not part of wxWidgets, I believe the subject of this thread is unfortunate. To me it suggests part of wxWidgets mentioned.eistware wrote:We are happy to announce that the extreme shape controls for wxWidgets toolkit, is now released for alpha.

And BTW doing commercial work of wxWidgets I always dreamed about the day that every commercial usage will bring something back to the community since commercial profit is made by using freely donated code. Have it in heart in the future
There is colour picker control just added to future wxWidgets releases (as well as font, directory and file pickers) with native implementations under GTK.eistware wrote:- Colour Picker
Curious, how is it different from wxListbook using large icons with list on the left?eistware wrote:- Image Book - another window container, similar to FireFox Options dialog
Here is how current development version of widgets sample look like (under Win2000):

Hi,
You can also mention, that wxWidgets already has a menu, but still, it is the look that matters. If on the way we find a new functionlity that can be useful to all, we add (e.g. icon with text on button)

Currently, our project is free for non commercial purposes, it means you are alowed to link against our library free of charge. I believe this can be counted as contribution to the community.And BTW doing commercial work of wxWidgets I always dreamed about the day that every commercial usage will bring something back to the community since commercial profit is made by using freely donated code. Have it in heart in the future Smile
I am aware of that, but it is important to understand that our main goal is not to add new functionlity to wxWidgets, but to make the controls look better.There is colour picker control just added to future wxWidgets releases (as well as font, directory and file pickers) with native implementations under GTK.

Try it. it simply does not look right. The selection of the icon, when hovering over an icon etc.Curious, how is it different from wxListbook using large icons with list on the left?
