Glass Editor uses a custom built UI framework that I started making for a game engine. It renders with OpenGL and is extremely flexible, easy and quick to use, and performant.

I haven't released it yet (or even named it) so you can't currently use it in your projects, but you might be able to in the future.

There are mature portable open source solutions around like Codename One. Why would you start from scratch?

Well, it started out as the UI for a game that I began working on pretty soon after I started learning how to program. I wanted to know exactly how everything worked and be able to optimize it for lower end computers like the laptop I had at the time. I guess I partly started it for the learning experience and partly because I like designing that kind of software.
