I see that at least the older ones are free, I can't find where it says if 3.1 is... can you please give me the source code for the latest free one so I can compile it for mac users? I have a mac I need this so bad lol but it won't work :(

There is a free executable version you can download and use, but the source is not free, sorry.
Actually i have compiled Logic Gui some time ago on a mac, but the user interface and MaxGui for the mac was too different that it worked nice. I hope that the new MaxGuiEx will make at least the code more cross platform so i can give it a second try.
Nevertheless users of Logic Gui have reported that they used it also for creating mac forms, the source can be used for any platform of course. If i remember correctly even running Logic Gui in Parallels has worked, which makes the data exchange may a bit easier.

why can't the source be free if the finished product is? :(

I know, it's a shame, but probably the tiny difference between open source and freeware.

grrrrrrrrrr...

A new video tutorial is available here:

It covers the Multi Language Support.

Add / Change / Delete Languages at any time and Logic Gui will do the hard work for you.
Change the current language of your application with a single click while it is running.
You can even import languages! The problem with foreign languages is, that you may not know the correct word or spelling. So if you decide to go for a multi language application, it is may wise to have somebody who talks the language as mother tongue. In Europe we have most of our help manuals in six or seven languages. This in mind i don't think you will be able to know all of them by hard. The idea is now to spread the program together with the language xml file and let people/user fill in the right words. You can then collect from various sources and import all pending languages without extra work. As the xml file contains also the gadget 'comment' of Logic Gui you can give extra information for best results.
