During the last week I started working on project I had always planned but never really got to:
A modder's resource that provides some general-purpose UI utility functions.

Potential features:

• An extended version of Debug.Notification with icon support, colored text, configurable position/size/buffer length etc.
• Standalone variants of the SkyUI MCM popup dialogs (i.e. a more versatile, scrollable messagebox).
• A text input dialog.
• ...

I imagine that these things would be pretty useful.

Another "feature" I had planned for this library is that it should be possible to include it completely with every mod that wants to use it, instead of requiring installation as a separate dependency (note: SKSE is still required).

The good news:

• I think I've got that last part pretty much figured out and working.
• Most of the work for the extended Notification is done:
  

  function Notification(string aMessage, string aColor = "#FFFFFF")function NotificationIcon(string aMessage, string aIconPath, int aIconFrame = 0, string aColor = "#FFFFFF")

The bad news:
If this is ever to be released properly, someone else will have to help me finishing it. And by helping, I mean someone has to actually take the lead This includes documenting, supporting, packaging, fixing and moving things forward in general. I will be able to contribute as developer only (due to time constraints).

So the main reason for creating this thread is just to gauge if there is actually a genuine interest from other modders for these kinds of features. And, of course, I'm hoping that someone will take up the torch eventually

SkyUILib as a name was just the first name that came to mind, it can be changed. The current code is here: https://github.com/schlangster/skyui-lib
