The last couple of weeks I've been working on a GUI system and after the first pitfall moved onto another way of creating a GUI.

It currently looks like this but has no functionality of yet. The coloring is generated from an effect file so we can play with that later and make things snazzy.

The last 3 controls to consider is text box, list box and combo box which visually won't be a problem but functionality will have to be added later.
