in games like baldur''s gate or anything that uses the infinity engine, is the user interface custom made by blackisle or is it based on dialog boxes of windows. the UI looks so much like a dialog box with buttons and scrollbars and stuff. is it also possible to change the appearnce of a dialog box or popup menu in windows programming. for example, instead of displaying a boring rectangular popup menu, display a circular one with pictures and stuff just like in planescape? sorry about the trouble but i''m a really big fan black isle games

It''s a complete interface made by BlackIsle. To my absolute best (Read: Mildly mediocre) knowledge, you cannot "skin" the windows GDI (Although I would like to skin some of the Microsoft Word programmers...). However, I am working on making an interface that behaves like the Windows one. EMail me if you need any help with that!

RIP GameDev.net: launched 2 unusably-broken forum engines in as many years, and now has ceased operating as a forum at all, happy to remain naught but an advertising platform with an attached social media presense, headed by a staff who by their own admission have no idea what their userbase wants or expects.Here's to the good times; shame they exist in the past.
