I’ve noticed that in the tour place file, there’s a floating widget that exists for this place. This is really cool and its a shame that this is locked to Roblox engineers.
QWidgets are insanely powerful and no functionality of them has ever been given to developers, even usecases where there isn’t risks attached (ie: always floating, non resizable widgets).
This doesn’t follow the standard feature request format because there isn’t a really a problem here (beisdes us not having access to this), it’s just a request to see if we can have some or all of this functionality given to us because it would make plugin guis way more powerful than they already are.
Internally, we are pushing away from Qt entirely (“officially” deprecated as of yesterday), so we will not be exposing QWidgetPluginGui, and it’s the wrong thing to anchor this feature request on.
It would be better to make [separate] feature requests for the specific things you want, like floating/non-resizable widgets.
Will there be some kind of similar functionality given to plugin developers in the future, considering the new Next Gen Studio Update? Could we at least expect/get an option to create un-dockable Plugin GUIs?
Its been a pain attempting to create things such as popups and other floating windows with dock widget GUIs.
Additionally, will plugin developers ever get any sort of way to prompt the color picker, gradient creator, brick color picker, and other similar features?
Whatever you want, make a feature request for it. What my post is saying is not that we don’t intend to do anything, but that the feature request itself is both too vague and too specific–QWidgetPluginGui itself will definitely not be exposed.
