Gecko

[madmark]

Has anyone used the Mozilla Gecko renderer in ClanLib for UI?

I have been using it in my Ogre projects and it is extremely liberating and powerful. Being able to use FireFox as a GUI development testbed and the wealth of HTML/JavaScript editors makes the GUI task easy, familiar and quick.

I haven't heard of anyone using gecko with clanlib, but in 0.9 the GUI has been redone in a way that should make game GUIs a lot simpler to do than it was in the 0.8 series.

Although the 0.9 GUI isn't as advanced as the gecko engine when it comes to HTML and Javascripting, it is very flexible in tweaking the look of the components using CSS properties, and allows the application to control how the GUI is hosted with a very high degree of flexibility. Harry also coded a GUI editor for it, so you can create dialogs and forms quick and easy.
