GUI
- Layout defined in the .gui resources in Gff4 format
- Both screens are of size 256x192
- Coordinate system is 2D, (0,0) is in the upper left corner
- Both screens define their own coordinate system from (0,0) to (256,192)
- To implement both screens easily, use a GUI size 256x384 and add 192 to the Y coordinate for the lower screen
- The following values for the labels are used:
| integer value | usage |
|---|---|
| 60000 | X coordinate of the widget in the upper screen |
| 60001 | Y coordinate of the widget in the upper screen |
| 60002 | width of the widget in the upper screen |
| 60003 | height of the widget in the upper screen |
| 60004 | background texture |
