Interface Widgets

[Tisnart]

I made these awhile ago and posted it at Nivram's and Ricky Rombo's sites but I realized that I never posted them here.
So here ya go if anybody finds a need for them. They can be altered many ways (probably want to change the images) and if you need any help just let me know.
Some were made to be used in a sub-application and others to activate a sub-application and others to just jump to a certain frame, etc.
Very basic stuff but great to use once you get the hang of them.

Music Volume Widget
SFX Volume Widget
Screen Mode Widget
Tips / Hints Mode Widget
Options Button Widget
Pause Button Widget
...and more!
Check each buttons behaviours for instructions and If I left something out please let me know.

Check out the example labled "Examples for InterFace Widgets" to get a better idea on how they can be used

Wow, very nice and polished! I'll definitely be using some of these concepts.

Thanx JimJam.

I have updated the file because it has come to my attention (thanx willow)that there was some incomplete information in one of the Widgets behaviors comments ..The Hints and Tips Widget.

The example that is included should help better explain any of the Widgets.

My apologizes for any confusion

Is the update in the same link as above?

I find that most Clickers don't put the extra effort into making the interfaces/menus easy to use. They merely make them 'functional enough' to perform their tasks.

You usually see things like:

"Press N to start new game, 
Q to quit, 
H for help, 
O for options, 
HOME for main menu, 
etc..."

... instead of just having a simple menu navigable by arrow keys.

But this is a great example of making menus functional and usable. Its good to see people go the extra mile.

Yes it's the same link.
