Please Respond, it makes me feel bad that I have 143 downloads and nobody cares to leave a note of support

GUIDE or GUI IDE is a program I made to help with visual GUI. It is not like the "GUI APIS" which also take care of event handling, It is instead a graphical GUI creator that turns everything you have drawn with the program into code that you can use for programs you are creating. It is very simple to use, and has easy to learn controls. Since you have to use the mouse to draw the GUI, it entirely relies on key bindings which are listed below :

1 Creates a line(uses background color). Click to make the starting point, Drag the ending point as desired.
To finish, press space. R repositions the starting point.

2 Creates text(uses both color values). Click to make the starting point, then type what you want.
To end, press enter

3 Fills the screen with the current background color

4 Enters Pixel Mode, in pixel mode you can change the color with P and has click/drag support, space to exit.

P opens color picker, cannot use while making a line or text.

Backspace deletes the last object drawn.

It will automatically save to the file specified as a function called drawGUI()

To me it really doesn't help. APIs are easier to use then this, this makes no sense.

Its hard to remember the controls, is there any way you could make something that shows the controls at all times?

The ugly menus are still there but i'm going to fix that in the next update.

I hate to admit but this was so harsh I had to uninstall Java. To be honest, this is more like Paint but with text.

This idea is great, but it needs colors, buttons, sliders, and text input fields.
I personally hate making GUIs with normal code

Im going to rewrite it in Guide 2.0.

I have a list of things I have to do like :

Custom format for resume edits
Static Objects
Upgraded hotbar with game engine like element explorer
Event handling
Renaming of the function(It's stupid why I didn't already include this)
Editing of elements
Port to CCLights2(Already Completed)
and some other stuff
