Well, basically a window like that could be constructed the following way (see attachment). The process would be very similar to constructing a webpage. But in order for it to be convenient in use for the menu scripter, somebody would have to implement some function which would put together a menu like that after inputting the right parameters, or at least a script generator which would generate the necessary Code.
Either way, should i go and try to recreate at least the geoscape screen of the proposed new UI
http://ufoai.ninex.info/wiki/index.php/Proposals/New_UI using my modified style? Or should i put together some source files with which people could recreate my design themselves?
Because from what i understand, your stuck with the old GUI because the original creator of the new one dissapeared into the great void of the internets.
Now, regarding another matter. I almost forgot, but when i started playing around with with the GUI, the first things that i changed were the geoscape background and the map_sun.tga. If you like them i'd be happy to send them to you. (see second attachment)
