RC Files
General Information
Unigine GUI uses resource files, which define some global settings for GUI. These files are in the XML format and have an RC extension. The RC file should be accompanied by a font file named font.ttf, which will be used by default. The font file should be located in the same directory as the RC file, along with other GUI skin files. There can be only one RC file in a folder.
The default RC file for system GUI is data/core/gui/gui.rc.
Syntax
As a correct XML file, an RC file must start with a standard declaration. The second required element is a root tag resource. This root element can contain zero or more other elements (tags) specifying the resources.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resource version="1.0">
<animation expose="6.0" fade_in="8.0" fade_out="4.0"/>
<default size="14" color="#ddddffff" alpha="1.0"/>
<focused color="#ffffffff" alpha="1.0"/>
<disabled color="#869caaff" alpha="0.8"/>
<transparent color="#869caaff" alpha="0.8"/>
<tooltip size="13" color="#000000ff" alpha="0.95" time="0.4"/>
</resource>If an RC file is not syntactically correct, Unigine will log the error to the console and the main log file.
