 Feature Request - Image Buttons

Would it be possible to implement images-as-buttons somehow?

Something like:
Code:
showButtonCustom("custombutton.png")

?

I would really like to "skin" the buttons for SexScripts, as well as use custom ones for certain scripts.

Even if there were strict limits (size, format, etc.) I would love it if this could be done, especially if it also worked with "getBoolean" and "getSelectedValue" multiple buttons too.

Awesome to hear, Doti! No pressure, but it would be very cool to have that feature.

Just wondering if you've thought or worked on this any more, Doti? :)

I don't have much time these days, and this is no so easy to test (with Android updating GUIs)

Thanks. I totally understand that... I wish I had the free time I used to as well! :(

As far as Android, I would be quite happy if this was a "PC only" feature; I don't know how many people use the Android port of SS, but I'd hate to see features left out just because they were hard to get working on Android but possible on PC.

Too many edge cases on platforms, I don't think this will be implemented.

That's a shame.

Am I understanding right that you are saying this is an issue because of Android/Linux support? Only, I'd hate to see SexScripts denied a feature because of fringe platforms not being able to do what the Windows build can. :(

Was thinking of a possible alternative, would it at least be possible to implement a couple of built-in button styles (square, rounded, etc.) and the ability to colour buttons if full custom skinning of the UI isn't possible?

Just wanted to bump this feature request, even though it seems like it cannot be implemented (like I said, hopefully not just due to limitations caused due to support of minor platforms like Android).

Was working on my mega-game script today and again lamented having to use the standard buttons, which look so plain. :(

Again, fair enough if there's a hard limit as to why this can't be done, but just wanted to check one last time, since honestly this is one of the things that keeps making me consider switching development of this particular script to something other than SexScripts (e.g. RenPy, etc.)... since SS is *awesome* for the normal kind of linear scripts we all make, but not so suited if you want a custom interface, sadly.

Cutomising buttons is a burden :
  • Drawing a button is drawing 3 pictures (inactive, active, over), not just 1
  • You still have to put some text (accessibility : not an option)
  • SexScripts adapts to the window manager : Windows (4 different wm + custom ones), Android, Linux (KDE, Unity, GTK...), OSX ; a clean button on one won't be pretty on another
  • This is not so much easy to code

Also, I still remember the web with image buttons everywhere (eg : http://www.gatesnfences.com/). I don't want to relive it again ;)

But we can provide (background) colors, if it can help.
