i'm not sure and believe they are a CSS3 feature.
Our GUI does not have CSS 3 features and is not a true css. Certain features are missing.

I am guessing you are trying to use things like "@media" to control menu sizes based on screen width/height

TBH i am more thinking of animating for a menu to make it look nice and sexy..

Oh while I have you I am wondering if skyline settings (resolution, windowed/fullscreen, etc et) is exposed to us so I can create a options menu, I was looking at the documentation but found nothing..

sorry for the late response, i ended up upgrading to windows 10 after the release was published.

Anyway, yes there are functions you can call manually and make your own GUI in game menu options. Simply go to this folder:
"$(Skyline_SDK)\Skyline\Data\Scripts"
and you will see a file called SceneScript_GUI.

This file is included automatically into the top of every sceneScript for all levels and games. Reading this file means you can add your own functions and they will automatically be loaded in aswell.

If you want to use your own GUI options screen, then you can override the default one to not show by using this command:
Code: Select all
render.setShowDefaultGUI(0); -- set to 1 to engage default again


You will also need to engage the cursor when you run your own options screen.
Code: Select all
gui.showCursor(1); -- 0 for off, 1 for on


i havent tested this in a while, but it worked when the system was built.

I hope this helps you :)
