IcyUI

IcyUI is a UI library for .NET games. You describe screens in XML markup or in C#, style them with themes and control templates, bind them to your game's data, and drive them with mouse, keyboard, gamepad or touch. The core is engine-agnostic; thin integration packages connect it to Stride and MonoGame.

Note

IcyUI is in early alpha (0.1.0-alpha). It's usable, but APIs may change between alpha releases.

Install

Pick the package for your engine. It brings in the core IcyUI package with it.

dotnet add package IcyUI.Stride --prerelease
dotnet add package IcyUI.MonoGame --prerelease
