I have programmed in HTML, Java, CSS, C++, VB, an Python.
I’m looking to make button that looks completely the way I want it to look!
Like in HTML+Java+CSS, I can do that very thing!
I’m using Netbeans IDE. I was about to just use OpenGL to do the GUI programming for my programs, since it is so hard to find information on customized GUIs.
I just want to learn how to make the image and give button functionality to it. I want to be able to make the shape, color, and effects (when clicked, hovered over, etc).
Oh, and I program in Ubuntu Linux!
Any help would be appreciated!
Qt is a good idea, but you won’t learn how it works, though it’s not really important and far easier like that. Using C++ you will have libraries that respect the encapsulation principle, so you won’t know at the first sight how do is work, just how to use it.
If you really want to code a button yourself, you can take a 2D drawing library such as SFML, with which you’ll draw your button and handle events on it.
