Initially raygui was conceived as an extra module for raylib to create simple GUIs using a raylib graphic style (simple colors, plain rectangular shapes, wide borders, raylib standard font...).

history

raygui was originally developed to create simple GUIs for some raylib-based tools (without external dependencies, only raylib).

raygui development started on December 2014 by two students (Kevin Gato and Daniel Nicolas), guided by me (@raysan5) to create a simple raylib GUI module. On June 2015, library was mostly complete (including all planned controls) and work started into styling possibilities for the library. Development on rGuiStyler (project named raygui_styler) started at that point but resources invested on the tool were quite limited and project didn't move much between for the following year, most of the time was invested in raylib.

Finally, on the end of May 2016, project was picked up again and continued to release raylib 1.0 and use it on some tools development. During August 2016, raygui was used to develop rFXGen and rGuiLayout tools and rGuiStyler was also updated an improved.
