I need something simple - a modal window with 3 buttons and a

This sounds easy with my minigui.d. My library doesn't have a lot
of features, no fancy graphics, and layout can be a bit clunky...
but check out this code:
Well first grab the library files from here:
https://github.com/adamdruppe/arsd
The three files you'll need are minigui.d, simpledisplay.d, and
color.d. Just download them to your directory and compile all
together with your file:
dmd yourfile.d minigui.d simpledisplay.d color.d
and it will make yourfile.exe. To get rid of the console, add
`-L/subsystem:windows` to that build command. If making a 64 bit
exe, you will need -m64 and -L/entry:mainCRTStartup as well. So
the total thing can be:
dmd yourfile.d minigui.d simpledisplay.d color.d
-L/subsystem:windows -L/entry:mainCRTStartup -m64
And that will create your stand-alone Windows exe that does not
have a console, just the gui window.
Here's a screenshot:

The library also works on Linux but it is quirky there since it
is 100% DIY. It has no Mac support at all right now. But if all
you need is basic building blocks on Windows, it should be OK.
Anyway, the code, I hope is is kinda self-explanatory or at least
you can try poking around and see changes yourself. If not let me
know and I'll write more here.

try {
auto f = to!float(box1.content);
auto c = (f - 32) / 1.8;
box2.content = format("%0.2f", c);

}
});

window.loop();

I wrote some docs for the lib here but it is incomplete.
http://dpldocs.info/experimental-docs/arsd.minigui.html
It is also possible to use my library with dub
https://code.dlang.org/packages/arsd-official
It is the "arsd-official:minigui" subpackage there. But I think
it is easier to just download the file yourself and build it
since it doesn't have a fancy build system.
