If you're looking for a GUI system that is reliable and feature rich, take a look at our SQUID SDK.
SQUID is used by several studios for Games and other realtime applications, such as the upcoming Favela Wars and the already available Universe Sandbox .
- .NET 2.0 or Mono required
- Engine-independent (XNA and SlimDX samples included)
- API similar to QT, GTK, WinForms
- easily extendable
- free for non-commercial use
- low license cost
We also provide hands-on help to optimally integrate SQUID into your engine.
With full control over scissoring and batching, performance is stellar, especially using DX11 GeometryShader and PointList buffers.

Excuse me if my question is stupid, i'd like to know if you can use the sdk in a c++ environment ( visual studio more precisely )
Check my code in the c/c++ section :

I'll have to answer this with a link: http://stackoverflow...ll-in-project-c
Note that Squid.dll is not COM visible. I'm willing to look into that if it is an absolute requirement for you.

I have tried the demo , and i have some doubts, the demo i tried was the one powered with tv3d if i am correct and i had some problems with the screen layout, the logo was positioned way too down so that only half was shown , was it intended to be like that ? I thought about problems detecting the correct screen resolution , or bad positioning.
The windows were moved smoothly, but i noticed that the close button was empty and a tooltip was show saying 'close button' where the mouse was hovering, in my opinion this was a little bit clumsy and intrusive.
I am still interested in your gui , are these problems that can be solved easily ? i use mainly c++ , and i have never touched unity ( and i won't )

The logo in the TV3D sample is not drawn by Squid, but by the TV3D engine.
If the position is off, that's a problem in TV3D. Although i haven't seen it behave like you said.
The GUI can be reskinned however you want - the close button is "empty" because it's just a sample.
Tooltips can be easily changed and customized.
In essence, we ship Squid with a sample Skin and a sample Desktop.
Everything you see there can be easily changed to your liking.
You should open the solution and look at the SampleDesktop sourcecode.
Squid SDK and Squid.Unity are 2 seperate things.
The SDK is engine independent. Squid.Unity obviously only works with Unity.
