WUI features

Showcase demonstrates nine button views (including a primitive-drawn checkbox, toggle and radio), Unicode text editing, filtered lists, menus, dialogs, custom panel drawing and split layouts. Explore its seven tabs without installing anything.

Windows and Linux are the original backends. The macOS and browser ports are experimental, with integration tests on macOS and in Chromium, Firefox and WebKit. See their platform pages for deployment requirements and limitations.
