MD Rust Designer is made for professional GUI developers, with it specialising in Rust. MD Rust Designer comes with the unlimited use of all our Rust GUI Designers as well as their custom-tailored IDEs.
The visual widget configuration is stored within the configuration file allowing for developers to update widget configurations while Rust GUI code remains clean, readable and incredibly fast.
The MD Rust Designer is a drag and drop GUI framework that is used to simplify the design, creation and maintenance of widgets, applications and GUIs in Rust. GUI Designer elements are easy to add by using a drag and drop basis, simply select a widget from the toolbox and place it anywhere on the canvas area. All GUI widgets and apps can then be transformed into Rust egui code by MD Rust Designer without having to type a single line of code yourself. Widgets can be moved, resized and repositioned with simple mouse clicks and pulls, giving you complete control over your layout in seconds.
Rust GUI Builder
MD Rust Designer offers a high level of customisation and personalisation for every GUI element. Each widget contains its own properties panel where you can change the colour, font, size, position, text, border style and more with just a few clicks. All customisation is completely codeless, no syntax, no manual styling, no experience required. Once you are happy with your design, click the Done button and MD Rust Designer will generate all the Rust egui code needed for your GUI automatically.
The GUI Framework for the Rust Designer doesn’t need any skills for it to be used correctly and efficiently, as it has been created for all users. However, for advanced users, both MatDeck and Rust egui code can be used alongside the generated GUI to create complex and specialised programs that are tailored directly to the user’s needs. The generated Rust egui code can also be imported into any external Rust IDE or editor for further development. All apps, widgets and GUIs created by the Rust GUI Designer can be saved and executed as standalone, independent applications to be shared among computers. All the provided GUIs are fully customisable and unique, allowing you to produce professional interfaces at the highest level in less time due to how accessible MD Rust Designer makes it.
Why Rust for GUI Development
Rust is a systems-level programming language designed for performance, reliability and safety. Rust combines the low-level control of languages like C and C++ with modern language features and strict memory safety guarantees, making it the perfect language when your GUI application needs to do more than just look good, it needs to be fast, safe and rock solid.
Rust compiles directly to native machine code with zero runtime overhead, achieving execution speeds on par with C and C++. This makes Rust ideal for GUI applications that require real-time data processing, low-latency rendering, embedded systems interfaces and high-frequency data acquisition. Rust’s ownership system and borrow checker eliminate entire categories of bugs at compile time, meaning your GUI application will never suffer from null pointer exceptions, data races or memory leaks.
egui is an immediate mode GUI library for Rust that is simple, fast and highly portable. egui requires no callbacks, no complex state management and no unsafe code, making it one of the most accessible GUI frameworks available for Rust. egui runs natively on Windows, macOS and Linux and can also be compiled to WebAssembly for deployment in web browsers, giving your application true cross-platform reach from a single codebase.
Rust was purpose-built for systems programming, performance-critical applications, embedded development and infrastructure software. It has native support for concurrency, async programming, zero-cost abstractions and fearless parallelism, making it the perfect language for building GUIs that interface with hardware, process real-time data streams, control embedded devices and manage complex system architectures.
Rust also eliminates the trade-off between safety and performance entirely. You get the speed of C with the safety guarantees of a managed language, all without a garbage collector. Rust’s Cargo package manager and crates.io ecosystem provide seamless access to thousands of libraries, meaning your Rust egui application can leverage a vast and rapidly growing ecosystem while maintaining the speed and reliability of Rust.
