What ways could I implement global style settings?
I have several types of onscreen messages that get used many times in my game. I'd like to have a single location where the style for these messages is set. I was thinking I could use a static class with members like so:
//fonts
static const string warningFont = Arial;
static const string calloutFont = Courier New;
//font sizes
static const int warningFontSize = 12;
static const int calloutFontSize = 10;
//etc...
... and script things at runtime somehow. That way I could try different looks quickly. I read the manual on the GUISkin, which seems kind of like this, but has a ton of stuff I won't use and is missing a way to differentiate multiple categories of text without loading a new skin for each. Is that right?
I'm assuming there is a common approach to this I could learn from. Is there an accepted practice or something popular at least?
