FAQPage Schema
How do I build a Talon UI canvas without using HTML?

Build interactive Talon UI canvases directly inside the Talon Python runtime using a declarative flexbox-like layout system. This replaces HTML and CSS boilerplate by providing Python-native element constructors and a root screen container for rendering.

Can I create HUDs and overlays in Talon using Python?

Yes, you can create HUDs, overlays, notifications, and cheatsheets in Talon using Python. The system provides a show and hide lifecycle management for embedded UIs, allowing you to render interactive elements without HTML.

How does state management work for Talon UI elements?

State management for Talon UI elements works through integrated state and effects within the Python runtime. You apply inline styling and use the provided state integration to manage dynamic updates across your declarative flexbox layout.

What is the best way to structure a Talon flexbox layout for overlays?

Structure a Talon flexbox layout for overlays by using a root screen container with declarative element constructors accessed via actions.user.ui_elements. This Python-native approach handles layout rendering without requiring HTML dependencies.

Does the Talon Python UI system support custom assets and references?

Yes, the Talon Python UI system includes optional support for references and assets. This allows you to incorporate external resources into your interactive canvases while maintaining the declarative flexbox layout structure.
