## FAQ
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. **Why do I need a GUI builder?**
|
|
|
|
**A.** GUI builders assist you quickly create GUI without learning too much about GUI frameworks. It can also help you quickly prototype and see things visually.
|
|
|
|
2. **Do I need to purchase a license to use this?**
|
|
|
|
**A.** Webbased editor will remain free to use. To support open-source development, If you want a downloadable exe for local development and additional features, you'll need to purchase license based on your needs (hobbiest / commercial)
|
|
|
|
3. **How does this compare to other UI builders?**
|
|
|
|
**A.**
|
|
* Most GUI builders out there are framework specific, this UI Builder tool is framework independent.
|
|
|
|
* This outputs code in Python, not in XML or other formats which can be hard to debug. So its easier to modify even after downloading the code.
|
|
|
|
* Support for 3rd party UI libraries. Many GUI builders don't come with support for 3rd party libraries.
|
|
|
|
4. **Why doesn't the theme of the GUI builder match the theme of Tkinter?**
|
|
|
|
**A.** Tkinter is a OS-dependent library, so it would render differently on different OS. Having a common UI the the GUI builder makes it simpler for development.

If you want a live preview before generating the code you can get a premium license and you'll be notified when that feature releases.
