nim-easygui: New styling features added!

I've just added some exciting new features to nim-easygui that make it even more beautiful and user-friendly!

New Features Added

Custom color scheme - Light green background (#EAF2E3) with dark blue-gray text (#2E4057)

Bigger, clearer fonts - Upgraded from 12px to 16px for much better readability

Emoji support - Full Unicode emoji rendering with Segoe UI Emoji font

Professional styling system - New styles.nim module for theming

Better font rendering - Using CLEARTYPE_QUALITY for crisp text

Improved spacing - Better layout with more breathing room between elements

What's New

The library now comes with a beautiful default theme that looks professional out of the box:


import easygui

# Now creates beautifully styled windows automatically!
discard createWindow("🎨 Styled App", 400, 300)
addLabel("🎉 Much bigger, clearer text!")
addLabel("🌱 Beautiful light green background!")
addButton("✨ Test the new styling") do:
  showMessage("Looks amazing! 🚀")
showWindow()

Before vs After

Before: Plain white background, small 12px fonts, basic styling, no emoji support

After: Light green background, big 16px fonts, professional appearance, full emoji support

The styling is automatic - no configuration needed! Just use the same simple syntax and get beautiful results.

Auto-GUI Still Works

The auto-GUI generation feature works perfectly with the new styling and emoji support:


proc calculateArea(width: float, height: float): float =
  ## 📐 Calculate rectangle area
  ## width: Width in meters
  ## height: Height in meters
  result = width * height

# Beautiful styled GUI with emojis generated automatically!
autoGUI(calculateArea)

Technical Details

Added src/styles.nim for color and font management

Updated window rendering to use custom background colors

Improved font creation with Unicode support for emojis

Enhanced button and input styling

Full emoji rendering support
