gauge fill question

Ok, I read the stickied note at the top that says what the UI cant do.

I know, I'm gonna get told that I've already been told it can't do this and to just give up on it, but...

Can the graphic that fills the gauges be changed? I assume that right now the graphic is a line of red, which moves over or something depending on where the end of it should be.

If a different graphic could be used, could it be replaced with a triangle graphic, which as it moves left or right shows more or less in an up/down fashion?

Im not sure how to describe what I mean, so I attached a lousy picture file (made in mspaint :P) to hopefully show what I mean. Feel free to tell me I'm being stupid and it's just not possible. ;)

Someone came up with a way to make a gauge file in vertically and they put the files out there so that everyone could use them. Just take a look at how the code it drawing the gauge and modify for your own needs. You will have to create new gauges though for your project to work since all the current gauge graphics are just the bubbles. But that should be the easy part. Writing all the code that will be needed to fill the gauge will be the long part(If I remember correctly the code was rather lengthy). __________________ ChronWaas: 33 Bard, Saryrn Chronania: 44 Necromancer, Saryrn
