For a UI framework, there is a distinct lack of screenshots.

Ha, that's a clever choice.

Yeah. I was able to find some here; looks clean and reasonable at least on Mac:

(I'm including the Maestral link because one of @pybeeware's tweets says that Maestral is a BeeWare app)



Though with an inauspicious context. Quoting https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toga :

> From its probable beginnings as a simple, practical work-garment, the toga became more voluminous, complex, and costly, increasingly unsuited to anything but formal and ceremonial use. It was and is considered ancient Rome's "national costume"; as such, it had great symbolic value; however even among Romans, it was hard to put on, uncomfortable and challenging to wear correctly, and never truly popular. When circumstances allowed, those otherwise entitled or obliged to wear it opted for more comfortable, casual garments.

> ... the toga's bulk and complex drapery made it entirely impractical for manual work or physically active leisure. The toga was heavy, "unwieldy, excessively hot, easily stained, and hard to launder".[39] It was best suited to stately processions, public debate and oratory, sitting in the theatre or circus, and displaying oneself before one's peers and inferiors while "ostentatiously doing nothing".[
