To make it easier for Bevy engine developers and third-party tool creators to make comfortable, visually cohesive tooling, we're pleased to introduce "Feathers" - a comprehensive widget set that offers:

  • Standard widgets designed to match the look and feel of the planned Bevy Editor
  • Components that can be leveraged to build custom editors, inspectors, and utility interfaces
  • Essential UI elements including buttons, sliders, checkboxes, menu buttons, and more
  • Layout containers for organizing and structuring UI elements
  • Decorative elements such as icons for visual enhancement
  • Robust theming support ensuring consistent visual styling across applications
  • Accessibility features with built-in screen reader and assistive technology support
  • Interactive cursor behavior that changes appropriately when hovering over widgets

Feathers isn't meant as a toolkit for building exciting and cool game UIs: it has a somewhat plain and utilitarian look and feel suitable for editors and graphical utilities. That being said, using the themeing framework, you can spice up the colors quite a bit. It can also serve as a helpful base to understand how to extend and style bevy_ui and our new core widgets; copy the code into your project and start hacking!

Feathers is still in development, and is currently hidden behind an experimental feature flag, experimental_bevy_feathers.
