question about Correct Window IDs usage - mardukL - 2019-07-25
Hi, to keep it short...
By looking at the Windo Id WIKI and the guilib/WindowIDs.h
I found that window id's almost got 5 digit values.
e.g. for custom window reservation ->
// WINDOW_ID's from 11100 to 11199 reserved for Skins
All skins i checked, use 4 digt (1100 - 1199) as its custom window/dialog ids.
Did i look into a wrong direction?
As i like to start sometime a own skin i am a bit confused now, which values are the correct ones?
Should i just ignore the 1st/leading '1' for the id's, if so why?

Just ignore the first digit. 0 = home and the internal number is 10000.

Also, you should only ever use the window name in any condition as the IDs could change.

Thank you booth @sualfred,'Hitcher'
Also the id's to use are correct descriped here, i was just worried about the leading '5 vs. 4' digit uasage when check the guilib/WindowIDs.h
