I'm not doing any specal costumization but the game's UI is motly just one big Canvas that the iso-view is drawn in and you can click on things like in Diablo. I'm useing normal scrollbar, buttons, entrys and messages.
Old code TRansparent Animated gif bug in perlTk? Newer code and a screen shot at YiffieMon CRPG website I guess you could call it ugly but I like it.
I Don't know much about SDLperl I just happened to come across it shortly befor seeing the quetion and didn't see any one mestion it so thoght I would. I'm quite happy with perlTK so far so I'm sticking with it.
