Is there another open source library for making GUI for games? different from CEGUI? Crazy Eddie CEGUI is too big. [Edited by - leoptimus on June 23, 2006 8:37:53 AM]

I've see the wxWidgets tutorial, but it doesn't draw widgets over OPENGL. It forces to draw widgets on the video surface, with a pixel based method.
Yes, I'm using SDL, but it's difficult to find a good widget library for drawing user interface on 3D applications.
ParaGUI seems to be good.

This is another gui library for SDL.

I don't know about the status of this project but from the OpenGL forum faq you can find JavaCoolDude's gui for opengl in this thread. It seems quite nice and not too big. Customizable and xml based format which is I think a big plus.

Actually WXWidgets is capable of starting an OpenGL context independantly of SDL, if that's how you want to do it. Just use the libraries separately.

Can CEGUI work fine with SDL? On CEGUI's pages, I see that it can work with OGRE, DirectX, SDL, Illich. But I don't see SDL.

It can work with SDL and OpenGL together, here's their tutorial.
