CEGUI integration

I'm currently trying to integrate CEGUI with TGEA 1.8.1.
But I don't want to reinvent the wheel, so has anybody already attempted this task?
I searched the site and resources, but couldn't find anything.
From what I've read on the CEGUI wiki, it seems to be quite simple to
integrate CEGUI...correct me, if I'm wrong.

Let's for example take a look at the window border...I can create a skin for it, but a) it just stretches instead of tiling, b) it's always rectangular etc.
Buttons...I can use images for them, but if I just put a simple button, it always looks rectangular and flat.
The stock GUI system isn't bad at all, but I just don't like it as much, as CEGUI ;)

The stock GUI system isn't as flexible as CEGUI imo.Let's for example take a look at the window border...I can create a skin for it, but a) it just stretches instead of tiling, b) it's always rectangular etc.

We originally planned to use it for the Menus specifically, then use the Torque GUI system for ingame guis (hud stuff), but never panned out.
I have been meaning to try and revisit it as an option

I previously had CEGUI in an older build of TGEA, although it was never completely hooked up, as I had other things I needed to work on.We originally planned to use it for the Menus specifically, then use the Torque GUI system for ingame guis (hud stuff), but never panned out.

Quote:The stock GUI system isn't as flexible as CEGUI imo.maybe, but you found many resources of how make your own controls, or modify the currents, i think that is more easy...
