Since I have time at my hands I started to work on a new gui editor for glide.
It is still work in progress, but I believe I can release it in the next few weeks.
Screenshot(yes it looks like Skewworks visual design studio.).
This one is made with wpf. The UI will change once I get some more important stuff done.
Usage instructions:
To add a new component from the toolbox on to the form:
Hold down Left mouse and drag.
To move existing control on the form:
press Left mouse and draq
or
Large nudge: Press shift and arrow key
or
Small nudge: Press arrow key
or use the property view
To delete control:
Press Del
To delete form:
click on the form on the design area to make sure it is selected and press DEL
To copy control:
Select control in the design area and press CTRL + C then CTRL + V
To Select multible controls:
To multiselect and allign. press shift + left mouse on every component you wish to select. then int hte edit menu select center horizontally and/or vertically.
To move press arrow key or shift + arrow.
[b]VERY IMPORTANT NOTICE:
