Any ideas on how it could be improved?

[nodata10101]

Does it move with the view of the room?

A couple suggestions that I think would really make this awesome.

1. Create a simple example showing how this works, and the different things you can do with this.

2. Make it so when the mouse is not over one of the selections on the menu, it unselects it, (removes the >, or whatever symbol the user decides to use)

3. Make a function to draw a background view underneath the menu. (I know that this can be achieved using other objects/backgrounds, but an easy implementation into your lib would make it all the more useful)

4. Make it so when the screen moves, so does the menu, (or at least explain how to achieve this.

Though all of these things would be ideal, I think it would at least be nice if you included an example, or a .txt file of some sort.

Congrats.

EDIT: I figured out the view thing so nevermind on that.

That is great!
I think that is one of the best libs that I have seen.

I thought of a suggestion though...
Possibly an option to create a menu like notepads at the top or IE or like most windows applications.

Anyway! It is great!

Best Wishes

[Blue Leader]

Very nice.
Though I have a question... Is there a way to get this to work in a 3D environment?

[cooldude2222]

Great lib!

example...

[liverp00l]

Figured it out - but have one problem
When i use a font (arial, size 12) It works fine, but when i try a font at a size any bigger it squeezes the letters that are a line lower into the letters on a line higher. And any size bigger than 18 the letters overlap.
HELP!
I don't have much experience with fonts as i don't usually need them that much.
I want my text to be about size 70-90 but obviously at the moment that doesn't work.

I can't fix it other than that i love it

[MidgetMines]
