Hi Nick,
            We currently use QT for traditional UI for a couple of
applications but overlaying active UI elements on render window is
something that QT doesn't seem to be doing. It's great that ImGui supports
well-known rendering APIs including Vulkan. Have you checked for other
better alternatives?

I see that you used some passive overlays for VAST. What did you use there?
Custom textures?
