Hello,
I am Keil uVision user with MDK-pro licence. I am evaluating a few frameworks for a GUI development. One of them is natively supported by Keil - emWin libraries from Segger company. Unfortunatelly it looks too old-stylish for me and it is definitelly slower than other libraries. GUIbuilder also looks... very simple.
I have just noticed that Segger made an improvement within their GUI and they released AppWizard builder a few days ago with a new widgets that looks much better than before. My question: is it going to be included in Keil uVision MDK-pro version in the future? Because now I am dissapointed with the user experience from this GUI and don't know if stay with emWin or move to another framework.

Hi Zack,
Thank you for your response.
We are going to use M7 - specifically a STM32F746 microcontroller. It has nice hardware support for LCD things. Another GUI library I have tested not so long ago can acheive 60fps with almost no cpu load. Of course there is an external SDRAM and FLASH necessary for that purpose, but we can accept that if it can improve the customer UX. One thing is that we are going to make a medical device, this is why I am afraid about certifications and therefore I need a safe library with some doccumentation at least. I would like to stay with a MDK drivers/libraries and other staff, but this emWin gui builder (at least version included in MDK) doesnt appeal to me...
BTW, we have to operate the 1Mpx CMOS and make some image processing, this will be a good challange to accomplish that with such a microcontroller, so as many tasks as possible has to be performed by a hardware.
