I need a GUI framework that can do the following!
There are rust bindings for Dear Imgui. It's a great immediate mode gui that has been used in the gaming industry for tooling. It supports floating windows and such. And there is a lot of customisability to be had. The benefit of the immediate mode gui is that it is constructed and rendered separately from the rest of the logic. Allowing you to build out whatever the gui is for, separately. Then, the gui can be removed from the final build if that is what you want.
