I completely get the value of designing in a live environment. That’s why I created [PluginGuiMagic](https://foleysfinest.com/developer/pluginguimagic/) (dual license) in the meantime. It is a 3rd party module that adds the missing features:

- more signal visualisations (level meter, analyser, frequency response plot for IIR, can be extended)
- more LookAndFeels (to be continued)
- FlexBox layout
- CSS-like property inheritance
- editable without coding while the GUI is running
- extendable with your own components
- usable in JUCE plugins as well as applications
- for fast prototyping as well as GUI in production

The module you need to add to your project is here:

> **[ffAudio/foleys\_gui\_magic](https://github.com/ffAudio/foleys_gui_magic)**
>
> A GUI builder module for JUCE. Contribute to ffAudio/foleys\_gui\_magic development by creating an account on GitHub.

If you need help there is also a dedicated forum since I didn’t want to spam here too often 😉

Hope that makes your life easier
