__Cache To Texture__: Widgets contained within a window are rendered to a texture when they need updating. When no updating occurs, the whole window is rendered as a single quad thus providing optimal performance.

__Batching__: Widgets are grouped together into a single render operation instead of rendering each widget as a separate render operation. This reduces the time taken to render.

__Animation__: Animated widgets, look changes over time (e.g. button smoothly changing color on rollover, etc...)

__Scripting__: Some form of scripting language (e.g. Lua, Javascript, Python, etc...) can be used to handle events.

__Custom Widget__: Allows the user to define their own widgets to supplement the supported widget set.

__Layout from file__: Possibility to load GUI layout from file instead of creating each widget in code.

__Multicoloured text__: Possibility to colour different parts of text with different colours.

__64 bit support__: GUI works on 64 bit's platforms.
