   I updated my source last night and several of my HUD based classes now fail. The HUD code assumes, as best I can tell, that all widgets have a container that is the HUD.  In WidgetBase (I think)  there is a getHUD() method that is called during an update().    In my code I have Panels, within Panels, within Frame.  None of the intermediate Panels seem to have the "container" variable set.  The getHUD() recurses looking for a container, and in my cases returns a 'null'.  With nested components this is failing.

This is a recent change, perhaps within the last week.  Is there a way to pull ..historical updates, can I get back to last weeks source via SVN Eclipse plugin??

Well, I'm currently working on a massive HUD fix. It already works very good here. I will test this case of panel-in-panel, too. I will commit it within the next hours and post here.

Yes. Simply watch the SVN history (Team->Show Histroy) to see, which revision has been committed when (and what is contained) and checkout this revision.

cool...thanx for the effort.   I have shifted my entire game to HUD base UI, life is nice. 

I have created two widgets that may be usable to a wider audience. 

One shifts from a initial location to a target destination whenever the mouse enters it.  I use this to have a set of buttons mostly hidden that can "slide into the game" when the user needs to select an item, it slides back to the initial location when the mouse exits.

The second does a similar shift, only for a time duration before sliding back, no mouse involved.  I use this to "popup" informational dialogs, long enough to be read before sliding back.

They are currently "prototyped"  I can send the source if you want to rework them to make the code style fit the other widgets.

Please send them . I'm very interested.

Is the seconds one to be understood as a tooltip or as a real popup menu?

I've committed the HUD update. Please checkout from SVN (xith3d and xith-tk). There's a new Button on the HUD, that should pop up a Frame matching your situation and it works. Please tell me, if it really matches your situation.
