All the login screens are working now with the new GUI code, though with some graphical oddities.

I got the Stack control's "Fill" working today, as well as the Grid control.
Now I just need to get ToolTips working again and then I can start porting screens over. This update has taken a long time, especially for one where the result isn't terribly visible.

Thanks, you too!
I got the tabbed controls working, as well as margin and padding, so what's left is a few layout controls and then porting everything over. And then, we're back where we started. Important for map and other editors though. (I'll want to actually *improve* some controls later on, but first things first.)

There won't be an update this week again. UI code is coming along but there's still more to do.

This past week I've got skinned controls working, and skinned forms moving (and resizing, which is neat), but I still need to do tabbed controls (such as in the Settings dialogs), grid-related controls, and I need to make margin and padding work consistently. I also want to add Maximize/Restore to resizable controls. After that I'll just need to make every single form in the game not be broken, small bit of work.

It's slow going, but in terms of total hours not too slow. (I only have an hour most days to work on the game.)
