Hi, what I'm trying to do is to have a "skinning system", that would allow me to launch the application with diferent graphical interface. For that I need to place images and fonts in one file and load it from there. I tried to pack the resources in zip and then read them with ZipFile class and it's createStreamFromEntry(). Well this works for text files but does not for images. ImageFileFormat::loadFrom(*imgFile) always returns empty image even though the InputStream is created successfully.
I was also thinking about using ImageCache but I don't see how to do that for images that are in a zip file. Maybe if I could read them I could insert them manually with addImageToCache() but then I would have to generate some unique hash for it.
As for fonts - here I'm kind of lost completely. I could install the fonts to the OS, and then specify in some textfile within the archive the name of the font, but I think it would be better to just embed the font in the file.
Do you have any suggestion how to best achieve what I want? And do you see why loadFrom() method fails if it gets a steam created with createStreamFromEntry()?
Thanks
