Hello,

I'm constructing a new application that runs primarily under Linux/X11, but this question is not platform-specific. I'm designing it to have a custom look and feel with a black background and round buttons to make it more touch-screen friendly. I've been able to override some of the classes to implement my look and feel using the draw() function, such as Fl_Toggle_Button, Fl_Button, Fl_Slider, FL_Table, and others derived from Fl_Group with good success. However, I'm now trying to figure out how to derive from Fl_Scroll so I can have a scrolling list that is too large for a single screen. The problem is the scrollbars that are instanced within Fl_Scroll. If they were pointers, I could remove the default instances and replace them with my own, but since they are not pointers, I cannot override their default drawing behavior (at least how to do so is not immediately obvious to me). Does anyone have suggestions on how I might make a scrolling box with a custom look without having to reimplement everything already in Fl_Scroll? If it helps, I plan on only using a vertical scroll bar and not a horizontal scroll bar.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Eric
