> Edit: dropping the demo link here for people to poke around. I'm curious what people use that is missing, and what people find unsuited to commercial use. As I alluded in my other comment, theming is possible but it's really limited if you expect anything close to what you'd typically expect. You can put borders and colors on frames, but it's pretty limited. For example, if you want to have a border with different colors on each edge, or a border on just one edge, you can't do that by default. I had to make a custom frame object that is a frame in a frame to make different sized borders, but it's still a single color. I created a mockup in PowerPoint (my go to design app... I'm not a designer, but it has everything I need and I know how to use it), and I had a lot of difficulty getting the egui design to match my PP design, because PP actually has a fairly advanced styling engine with a ton of options, and I took advantage of those. So when I go to egui, the default theme didn't support the kinds of design elements I wanted to show. But, like I said, you can make these things yourself with the egui building blocks without much trouble. The other thing I found a little frustrating was chromeless windows. There's an example of this, but it didn't seem well supported. The idea is that when you turn off chrome, you can't resize or close your app. So then you have to add all that functionality back. There's a demo that shows this, but it seemed like a pain at the time to integrate into my app. I gave hoping it would be fixed soon, so I will revisit. |
I rarely create guis, mostly just cli tools. Is there a good intro to basic ui theory so I bdont upset people with higher expectations in the rare event I do create one?
