Description
Design Dear ImGui menus visually, then build a realexe Kavro is a drag-and-drop designer for Dear ImGui windows, tool menus and launchers. Stop nudging SetCursorPos values and recompiling: drop widgets on a canvas, style them, test the window, and export clean code in C++, C# or Rust.

Could you build this?
Partial A basic canvas is straightforward, but translating Dear ImGui's unique immediate-mode rendering layout rules into an accurate visual designer that exports idiomatic multi-language code is technically demanding.
What it would actually take: The tool likely embeds Dear ImGui directly within an engine wrapper (C++ with SDL/OpenGL or Rust/wgpu) or runs a simulated layout engine that mirrors ImGui's internal cursor and styling state machines. The complex challenge is faithfully emulating Dear ImGui's non-retained, flow-based layout mechanics (push/pop ID, SetCursorPos, SameLine, dummy widgets) in a WYSIWYG editor and reverse-transpiling that back into clean C++, C#, and Rust syntax. This demands deep systems programming knowledge and intimate familiarity with ImGui's internal architecture.
