Hi, guys!

This is just an example of something I've been working on the last few days. Now, this wouldn't be special if there wasn't for one cool feature - GUI is completely built from PNG images. And when I say built, I mean built! Entire GUI is built from tiny PNG parts and it's size depends from the length of the longest line of text. You might ask: why from tiny PNG parts? - Well, my ultimate goal is to make the compiled size as small as possible. And I can only achieve that by reducing size of the required resources...
I hope someone will find it useful.

As always, I would like to know what you think about it :D

P.S.
It's not a complete msgbox replacement since there are only 'OK' and 'Yes/No' buttons. Like I said, it's only an example.

Me too. But on WinXP!

build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe

So far, the Universe is winning.

@wakillon
What about my Launcher - can you see the text on the left side of the initial splash GUI saying: "Ultimate Launcher" and just below that "v1.3.0.x"? - it uses the same function to draw the text.

@everyone
I'll have to suspend working on the script until I install Windows 7 in dual boot. I can't fix scripts this way, it's the only option...

By the way, what service pack are you using on Windows 7?

I can't believe it's not working, you have the exact same configuration as I do (your signature)

It runs for me on Win7-X64 in 32-Bit-Mode but not in 64-Bit-Mode.
Looks very nice btw.
