What is the best way to create a Windows-like form?

I would like to create a Windows-like form, with minimize, maximize and close buttons in the top right.
I am not sure what method I should use to accomplish this.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I had a look at https://slint.dev/ and to me, that looks very promising.
But I hadn't tried it out at all. So you'll be the guinea pig. :-))

It reminds me a bit of Tk of the Tkl/Tk combo that I liked a lot for GUI-stuff.

Rust doesn't have many comprehensive GUI libraries + GUI is hard because there are millions of ways to do it

This is worth considering: GitHub - gabdube/native-windows-gui: A light windows GUI toolkit for rust

If you're actually running on windows, making a simple form should be fine with this. Having said that, I've been using Tauri.

I don't really know how native windows gui compares to Tauri, but Tauri is fun to use, if you're OK with web based frontend code. That's the trade-off they made for cross platform support so they could focus on other features like auto updates and security reviews.

Replying to Dmason
When I run the git clone command, from a Terminal, I get this message:
git@github.com: Permission denied (publickey).
faral: could not read from remote repository.
Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.

I have not used git before so possibly I am missing something.

Thanks

It is worth going through the github doc on using ssh and key pairs for accessing git there.
