[WIP] NGUI Theme Manager

Hi All,

I would like to present my last script in WIP.

NGUI is a very good GUI library, but the thing that made me struggle for sometime is that, if you want to change a color for instance, you have to go through all your scenes assets of prefabs and modify it.

So I made a Theme Manager, it allow you to create a theme, and tell which controls have to be themable, you can then control your interface from one place, and even switch theme at runtime if you want.

The usage is simple, you have a ThemeManager, that store a Theme, in a theme you create Styles (Color, Label Effect,...) and last you add a ThemableScript to the NguiControl you want to customize and check which styles you want to apply for each properties. Simple !


Tell me what you think ?
Do you think it's usefull ?
What would you like to see in the future ?


Features:

• Simple to use, custom editor inspectors
• Runtime theme swapping
• Undo Redo editor support

Interface


Styles (For now)


Themable Widgets (For now)


Demo: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/12070966/NguiThemeDemo/NguiThemeDemo.html

The Demo use this simple theme swapping script

Code (csharp):

1. public class ChangeThemeRuntime : MonoBehaviour{
2.         public UITheme theme01;
3.         public UITheme theme02;
4.  
5.  
6.         public void ApplyTheme01 ()
7.         {
8.                 UIThemeManager.Instance.theme = theme01;
9.                 UIThemeManager.Instance.ApplyTheme ();
10.         }
11.        
12.         public void ApplyTheme02 ()
13.         {
14.                 UIThemeManager.Instance.theme = theme02;
15.                 UIThemeManager.Instance.ApplyTheme ();
16.         }
17. }
18.  
19.  
20. [FONT=arial][/FONT]

 

Nobody ?

 

This looks pretty good! Can themes be created at runtime and assigned to dynamic widgets (also created at runtime) as well?

 

Hi, I didn't try actually because I didn't really see a point to do it at runtime, maybe for assigned to dynamic widgets, but the creation of a theme in runtime seams to me useless .

What you had in mind ?
What situation it could be usefull ?
