How can i make a custom GUI for my programs? I don't want to use the built in functions like draw, circle, etc. Is it possible to use Photoshop CS3 to make a custom GUI and make it work with my code? I understand about event handler and stuff but yeah thats about it. I never used GUI in my programs before. Would i use OpenGL to do this ?_?

Hey. Uh, you can do it a bunch of ways. It depends on what library you're using to draw your GUI. For GDI+, wxWidgets, GTK+ and OpenGL, the answer is yes. Each has it's own ways to put in custom images. Which one are you using? I'm guessing either OpenGL or GDI+.
