RustCuiEditor - Visual CUI creator 1.0.0

Rust CUI Editor - Visual Interface Designer for Rust
Stop writing UI code blindly. Design your CUI interfaces visually and export ready-to-use code in seconds

What is this?
Rust CUI Editor is a desktop application for creating Rust game UI (CUI) interfaces using a visual drag-and-drop editor. Instead of writing dozens of lines of CuiHelper code and constantly reloading your plugin to see the result, you design everything visually and get clean, working code instantly.

Guides, Grid & Smart Snapping

• Draggable guides from rulers
• Customizable grid with snap
• Smart guides — auto-snap to edges and centers of other elements
• Distance indicators while dragging

Multiple Backgrounds
Preview your UI on actual game screenshots:

• Game view
• Inventory
• Loot container
• Crafting menu
• Map
• Transparent (none)

Export Formats
Generate ready-to-use code in three formats:
C# (CuiHelper)

container.Add(new CuiPanel {
    RectTransform = { AnchorMin = "0.3 0.3", AnchorMax = "0.7 0.7" },
    Image = { Color = "0.1 0.1 0.1 0.9" }
}, "Overlay", "MyPanel");
JSON (CuiElementContainer)
json[{"name":"MyPanel","parent":"Overlay","components":[...]}]

Full Plugin — complete .cs file with using statements, class definition, and all UI code
