Overview#

The About Window extension provides a dedicated interface for displaying application and build information directly within the Omniverse Kit SDK. Accessible from the Help/About menu, it offers a simple way for users to view version details, plugin information, and related application data without needing to write any code.

Functionality#

About Window Display: The extension creates an interactive window that shows details such as the current build version, list of plugins, and other application information.
Menu Integration: A menu entry in the Help/About section allows users to easily toggle the window’s visibility. The extension automatically updates the menu state to reflect the window’s active or inactive status.

Integration#

Omni UI and Omniverse Kit SDK: The extension leverages Omni UI for constructing the window and integrates closely with the Kit’s menu system, providing a seamless user interface experience.

Considerations#

User Workflow: Users interact with the About window primarily through the Help menu, where activating the About menu item opens the window displaying key application information.
Resource Management: The extension ensures that the About window is properly created on startup and destroyed during shutdown, avoiding resource leaks.
Customization: While the extension focuses on displaying version and build details, minor UI styling and behavior are managed internally, requiring no additional configuration from the user.

This overview emphasizes practical usage and integration within Omniverse Kit environment, ensuring that users have immediate access to critical application information without the need for further programming.
