excustom(3alleg4)

🎀 NAME 🎀

okay bestie, this is excustom from the Allegro manual, and it's literally all about creating custom GUI objects in the Allegro game programming library. it's giving "level up your dialogs" energy fr fr. 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <allegro.h>

Example excustom

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so this one is a sequel moment — it's a follow-up of the exgui.c example, and it shows you how to customise the default Allegro framework. 👑

in this case, a dialog procedure animates a graphical clock 🕐✨ without disrupting other GUI dialogs — like, it just vibes in its own lane while everything else keeps working. main character energy but polite about it.

and if that's too much, there's also a more simple option that shows you how to dynamically change the font used by all GUI elements. the way that all your GUI text can just... get a whole new look on the fly? iconic. 🌈
