A Gooey GUI

Okay, so I was looking through the projects forums earlier, and I happened to notice that there were a lot of people up and posting various nifty GUI libraries. Not too far into looking at these, I realized that I hadn't yet made a GUI myself for my game, and that it seems like that would be a tremendously dull bit of project to take on. So why not nab someone else's, and do a little retrofit?

So I was rather wondering, which one should I try? You guys have quite a few to choose from.

I would greatly appreciate any shameless self-promotion. ^_^

They're all pretty equal, it kinda depends on what you need it for.

I'm putting together an adventure game that's sort of a mix between Zelda and Diablo. What I really need is something to handle input from a sidebar hud and menus... I haven't actually put a lot of thought into how I'd like it to look though.

If I grab somebody else's GUI I know that I'm going to be doing some heavy modifications, if only to the style. Maybe it would be easier to make my own? Dunno.

Leif is pretty easy to change the style on. :monocle:

I've been playing with it a bit, and I think it'll do the trick. ^^

Also, you've very successfully reminded me what a terrible programmer I am. I'm still in school though. Gimme time. :D
