+AqHome Control System GUI
+
+This is a simple GUI which allows microcontrollers to use a display.
+It is completely written in AVR assembler and therefore rather small
+and fast.
+
+It provides layout elements (horizontal, vertical, matrix) which allow for
+dynamic GUI elements. With those elements the widgets don't have to be
+individually placed by hand, rather placement is delegated to those layout
+elements.
+
+This makes it very easy to change existing dialogs since the placement doesn't
+have to be recalculated manually.
