Version: newest as of sept 7th

Hello,

So I want to make a remake of the application of the screenshot that I have attached.

I would like to have it be as close to exact as possible.

there is a rounded loading bar that goes from one side to another and I would like to learn how to do that, as well as a frame with a gradient as it’s border. Can you guys help me? Thanks

Why draw on top of a window? How else would I get the line (if there is a way please let me know and I’ll change the title)

This is a rather open ended question and your post suggests you don't have much experience nor a starting points so I'll provide some, but we can't hand-hold you through the process.

See:

Suggestions such as #4722 (this is going to be more difficult to achieve given your assumed experience with dear imgui)

(4)
Reference custom widgets that are mostly drawing nice shapes (e.g. imgui-knobs, imspinner)
