It’s concerning your question has not been answered by the person trying to sell this software for $200-$2,304 a year when it only has a half of the widgets the lvgl library has. Just to make a list object I have to create a roller then go into the ui.c file and erase the roller functions and replace them with list functions every time I change something in the designer tool making it not an “efficient designer tool”. I think this is too early to charge these kind of prices without having all the features. The 50 widget limit is reasonable for free personal use until you use flex grid and then your widgets limit get used up right away. I’m just very frustrated I spent a month with the free trial thinking with the paid version I was going to get the rest of the widgets like the screenshots show on the squareline website considering the price.

I’m sorry for the late reply. Somehow I haven’t noticed this topic. :frowning:

Some widgets are still really missing from SLS because they require special handling. We are adding these gradually.

Speaking about the menu widget, I consider it a quite special and complex one (i.e. not too generic) and I think it’d be hard to use in UIs. Ideally it should be possible to easily create such a widget in SLS from scartch using layouts, events and components.

If you would like to extend the functionality of the UI you can do anything after calling ui_init(). So if you need to add some extra features for the roller (which are not supported in SLS) you can just do something like:

ui_init();
lv_roller_set_...(ui_Roller_1, ...);
