Skinned Windows (own TitleBar and Borders)

[kernel_panic]

This two little classes let you use own windowframes and titlebars.
the windows which are created with this class can be resized and moved like normal windows
and have three buttons on top. For an own skin you will need 9 pixmaps:
-> left border(sl), left-bottom corner(elu), right-bottom corner(eru), right border(sr),
titlebar(so), bottom corner(su)
-> maximize (maxButton), minimize(minButton), close(quiButton)
if you want to skin your application just set QSkinWidget as Parent. if you want to skin a MainWindow use something like this:

QSkinMainWindow *wid = new QStyleMainWindow();
 
	MainWindow mainWindow;
	wid->setWindowTitle(APP_TITLE);
	wid->setCentralWidget (&mainWindow);
	wid->resize(550,650);
	wid->show();

QSkinMainWindow *wid = new QStyleMainWindow();
	
	MainWindow mainWindow;
	wid->setWindowTitle(APP_TITLE);
	wid->setCentralWidget (&mainWindow);
	wid->resize(550,650);
	wid->show();

enjoy working with this classes, even its somekind of "murx".
please let me know if you find better ways to realyze things i did in the classes and use them only for opensource-software.
i hope i will get some feedback!
P.S. Sorry for my bad english and no comments, i will type them as far as i can...

[kernel_panic]

i've added resizing on every side an on the edges.

[kernel_panic]

Now i've optimized the drawing of the Frame-Pixmaps and the resizing of the windows.

[kernel_panic]

Ok. I wonder that nobody shoutet at me, because the classes didn't work on linux...
but now they should work on all platforms.
Please some feedback...

but now they should work on all platforms.

Really? Well I got a few comments :

• Packaging is *REAL* bad... put all three (lib, test and config) in a single package
• Why do you feel the need to put the lib in a subfolder of its sources instead of in a subfolder of top dir?
• there are unneeded files in test : makefile, lib bin and headers... use LIBS += -L.. (or -L../QSkinWindows/lib if you keep your current layout) and INCLUDEPATH += ../QSkinWindows
• there is a convention to use lower case filenames to avoid errors under UNIX systems which are case-sensitive...
• The test program crashes... It says "Floating point exception"
• I've not seen any pixmaps anywhere... How do you style the test program?

I guess that's all for now...

[kernel_panic]

ups...
ok... now it should be better.

I do not understand... what are you "distributing"? The zip does not contain a mainlevel project file, and the project file available on the SkinConfig does not compile.

Did you test the release? What do you expect me to do with it?

[kernel_panic]

yes i tested it. download the newest version (tar.bz2 file). it works. with this "distribution" which is a class for adding own titlebars and borders to your application.

Just wanted to tell you that it compiles and works pretty good. Thanks.

Whats the license of this work? Can I use it on non GPL applications?

[kernel_panic]

no you can't.only for open source software, please.

[fullmetalcoder]

The new package compiles well and looks pretty good. however the handling of mouse events (to click on buttons) doesn't seem to work well : I got warnings about QWidget::grabMouse(), the buttons are not animated and whatever the one clicked the applications gets closed... Am I missing something?
