[wxPython-users] Skinnable interface in (wx)Python?

[Peter Damoc]

Well... I guess it depends on what would you consider "an easy way"...
There is no official way (a specialized control) but... if you want to make
such a beast... it wouldn't be too hard and it would be a great contribution
to the toolkit...

The way I would do it is like this:
1. A custom wx.Panel with 2 or 3 bitmaps (normal, mouse_over and activated)
stored them in some internal bitmaps
2. Handlers for Mouse events that would trigger repaints.
3. a custom wx.EVT_PAINT that checks to see if the mouse is in one of the
rectangles from a predefined list of rectangles (the rough area of the
button) and blits the appropriate rectangle from the appropriate bitmap
(mouse_over or activated).

Of course you can implement this in other toolkits like pygame BUT the main
advantage of doing this is in wxpython is that we have here a great
community and you WILL get help if you need it. I believe people would love
such a control and so... you might get even contributions for optimization
and such.
