- wxAUI adheres to the following principles:
- Use native floating frames to obtain a native look and feel for all
- platforms. Use existing wxWidgets code where possible, such as sizer
- implementation for frame management. Use classes included in wxCore
- and wxBase only. Use standard wxWidgets coding conventions.
+Modeless controls expose a tool palette or set of options that float above the
+application content while allowing it to be accessed. Usually accessed by the
+toolbar, these controls disappear when an option is selected, but may also be
+"torn off" the toolbar into a floating frame of their own.

+Look and feel encompasses the way controls are drawn, both when shown
+statically as well as when they are being moved. This aspect of user interface
+design incorporates "special effects" such as transparent window dragging as
+well as frame animation.
