Hi Todd,
for a popup such as this, you will probably need a full GUI library.
There are utilities to show very simple GUI dialogs like KDialog
(probably linux-only), Zenity (two different windows ports exist, both
have been abandoned almost a decade ago).
These are all inspired by "dialog" which is a console utility to build
different kinds of little TUI dialogs for shell scripts. Presumably you
don't want a TUI, though.
For a complicated dialog such as the one you've got in your screenshot,
a simple "show a dialog from your shell script" utility will probably
not allow you to put in the amount of customization you want.
We have GTK::Simple, which I think you've used before? Though you'll
need to do something to distribute the necessary DLLs to the machine
that will run your program. GTK::Simple links to these instructions for
windows: https://github.com/finanalyst/GTK-Simple#windows
There's two sets of bindings that are more complete than GTK::Simple,
which are XLiff's and MARTIMM's:
https://github.com/Xliff/p6-GtkPlus (plus a bunch of repos next to it on
the same github user)
https://github.com/MARTIMM/gnome-gtk3
I haven't immediately found instructions or indication related to
windows from these two repos, though.

How do I do a popup like this? Well somewhat like this.

Many thanks,

Any third party utility that works with Raku to
accomplish this?
