[QUOTE="arion_p, post: 506681, member: 45945"] May I suggest a feature (with implementation suggestion too) that I think would help a lot of our skinners: Add the ability to load window plugin dlls (own and 3rd party), enumerate type infos in each assembly and provide the skinner with a list of windows defined in those plugins (the classes derived from GUIWindow) with their IDs (this can be tricky but you can have a look at PluginManager and WindowManager for clues). For each available window (class) scan for fields having the SkinControl() attribute and get those control IDs along with their class type (perhaps even map class types to xml control types). Use them to allow the skinner to choose each control ID or even automatically insert the correct controls and verify that IDs used are the same with the ones in the code. This will save a lot of headaches with mismatched control IDs. ;) [/QUOTE]
