betterlook.pbi
betterlool.pbi is a tiny library that enables PB developers to easily create (or modify existing) PB apps to give them a more modern look.
Here is a first "Hello World" test demo! (Note that most UI elements are inactive in this version)

Notes:
-
Please do not expect an Electron alternative or a full UI framework.
- Code is currently not DPI aware. It shouldn't be too hard to implement though.
- By default, the library uses gadget and image numbers in the 500-600 range. Keep this in mind to avoid overlapping numbers.
- The library works best for fixed-size, single window applications. It's probably not suitable for more complex cases.
- Supported OS and PB versions:
- Windows: 10 and 11 (x86 and x64)
- PureBasic: 5.6+ and 6.0
