A few people have been commenting about the GUI of Lightning Limbs, so I thought I'd explain how I went about creating its Windows-style components. I'm working on a series of tutorials explaining how each type of control works. Currently available are:
Checkboxes
Radio Buttons
Normal Buttons

Each tutorial (though 'guide' might be a better name) is supplied as a zip file containing sample media, at least one example program, and a pdf document providing detailed explanations of the code along with hints and suggestions to aid you in using these controls in your own projects. More are on the way!

You can download them from my website:

I suppose it is, in a way , but really I just wanted to make sure that programmers coming after me didn't have to reinvent the wheel!

Nice job! Can't let this fade to obscurity especially when there's a menu maker DBC challenge afoot!

Enjoy your day.
