Topic: Trouble with the GUI in the default game template.

[Uhfgood]

Apparently the default game template has gui problems.  It might be something to do with the recent changes to AGS.  Wasn't sure if this was the right forum to post this in.  But here's a picture of the error (keep in mind I don't know how long imgur keeps images) --


Notice at the top the icon bar is not displaying properly, and the window as well when I click on some random place on the icon bar.

The default icons have a bit depth of 8bit. As soon as you switch the game to a color depth of 32bit, they end up black.
You can fix this without using a paint program by right-clicking the sprite in the Sprite manager, copying it to the clipboard, then overwriting it with the clipboard contents. This will cause the sprite to be re-imported at 32bit and it should appear properly afterwards.

So it's not really the Default game's fault, it's just that its resources date back to the DOS era.

Thanks a lot Khris!  I will fix that asap.

Eventually I'm going to build my own gui, but right now I'm just getting things started.
