Hello. I'm interested in using wxPython to make a skinned "player-style"
application, i.e., non-platform-looking custom graphics and controls.
To be clear, I don't really need wx or my app to be "skinnable" in a generic
way (new skins created by users, etc.) I only want to ability to create a
custom UI. I'm looking to use as much standard control functionality as
possible so I don't have to re-invent rendering and event handling. Is this easy in wxPython, and are there some examples?
It's doable, but not easy. Since wxPython uses native controls you are limited to what they can do and so skinning of the native controls is not an option. However as you've noticed you can create custom controls that draw themselves however you want. Or OTOH, you may be able to get away with just a single window that draws your whole interface is mouse sensitive.
