ConsoleGUI is a layout-driven .NET framework for building console-based GUI (TUI) applications in C#. It provides layout managers like stack and dock panels plus basic controls, similar in spirit to WPF or HTML rather than coordinate-based UI toolkits.

Use cases

• build a text-based UI for a C# console app
• create a terminal dashboard with panels and grids
• render interactive layouts in a console window without manual redraws
• make a TUI chess board or grid display in .NET
• add colored, layout-managed controls to a command-line tool

When to choose

• you want a WPF-like, layout-driven TUI in .NET
• you need a dependency-free library targeting .NET Standard 2.0
• you want automatic UI updates without manual redraw calls

When to avoid

• you need a thread-safe UI framework
• you target platforms beyond Windows and Linux consoles
• you need rich prebuilt widgets beyond basic controls
