  4. Create amazing UIs!

📊 Performance

  • 60+ FPS on all components
  • < 5% CPU usage
  • Optimized rendering
  • GPU acceleration ready

🛠️ Customization

Creating a Custom Theme

ALUI::ColorPalette myColors;
myColors.primary = juce::Colour(0xff00ff00);
myColors.background = juce::Colour(0xff000000);
lookAndFeel.setColorPalette(myColors);

Custom Knob Style

class MyKnobStyle : public ALUI::ModernKnob {
    void paint(juce::Graphics& g) override {
        // Your custom drawing
    }
};

📈 Roadmap
