How can I create an oddly shaped GUI ?
-
I have completed an application that looks boring. I can add graphics to my WPF based GUI but what I would like to do is change the entire shape of the GUI itself. The best example I can think of is that of changing skins on a media player... by changing the skins you can change the overall shape of the GUI as well as the placement of the controls. One skin may be an 800 pound guerrilla while another might be a hamburger. I would be able to change it with the click of a button. I can easily place a picture of a guerrilla into my WPF based GUI and place the controls on it but the GUI itself that contains the guerrilla picture still has four straight sides.... I want my GUI to morph into the shape of the primate. Can someone point me in the right direction? And to complicate things.... Another idea we have is to place controls on each of the six sides of a cube. Once we have the GUI assume the shape of the cube we would like the user to be able to use their mouse and spin the cube around by clicking and dragging....thus accessing the controls on the other sides. And could we do all that using finger input on a touch sensitive screen? ... Can someone point me in the right direction on that idea? Thanks, Jay
