        ## Comparison to similar projects
        Do let me know if any of these are incorrect. Some of the comparisons are
        based off documentation/ the readme
        
        ### Parser Support
        |Parser|Cli2Gui|Gooey|Quick|
        |---|---|---|---|
        |Argparse|:heavy_check_mark:|:heavy_check_mark:|X|
        |Optparse|:heavy_check_mark:|X|X|
        |DocOpt|:heavy_check_mark:|X|X|
        |Click|:heavy_check_mark: * |X|:heavy_check_mark:|
        |GetOpt|:heavy_check_mark:|X|X|
        
        ```none
        * Partial support (use Click2Gui)
        
        This works for simpler programs but sadly falls flat for more complex programs
        ```
        
        ### GUI Toolkit Support
        |GUI Toolkits|Cli2Gui|Gooey|Quick|
        |---|---|---|---|
        |Tkinter|:heavy_check_mark:|X|X|
        |WxWidgets|X|:heavy_check_mark:|X|
        |Qt|:heavy_check_mark:|X|:heavy_check_mark:|
        |Gtk|X|X|X|
        |Web|:heavy_check_mark:|X|X|
        
        
        ### GUI Feature Support
        |Basic GUI|Cli2Gui|Gooey|Quick|
        |---|---|---|---|
        |Override name/ description|:heavy_check_mark:|:heavy_check_mark:|?|
        |Theming|:heavy_check_mark:|Limited|?|
        |DarkMode|:heavy_check_mark:|X|:heavy_check_mark:|
        |Window Size|:heavy_check_mark:|:heavy_check_mark:|X|
        |Element Size|:heavy_check_mark:|X|X|
        |Custom Images|:heavy_check_mark:|:heavy_check_mark:|?|
        
        Cli2Gui is pretty lacking in these features and will probably remain that way
        to ease maintainability - the primary aim is to support multiple argparse
        libraries over fancy widgets
        
        |Advanced GUI|Cli2Gui|Gooey|Quick|
        |---|---|---|---|
        |Dropdown|:heavy_check_mark:|:heavy_check_mark:|:heavy_check_mark:|
        |Slider|X|:heavy_check_mark:|:heavy_check_mark:|
        |Tabs|X|:heavy_check_mark:|:heavy_check_mark:|

        See the [CHANGELOG](/CHANGELOG.md) for more information.
        
        
        ## Decorator
        ```python
        @Cli2Gui(run_function, auto_enable=False, parser="argparse", gui="pysimplegui",
        		theme=None, darkTheme=None, sizes=None, image=None, program_name=None,
        		program_description=None, max_args_shown=5, **kwargs)
        ```
        ## Using the decorator in your project
        ### run_function (optional)
        The name of the function to call eg. main(args). Defaults to None. If not
        specified, program continues as normal (can only run once)
        
        ```python
        def main(args):
        	print(args.arg)
        
        @Cli2Gui(run_function=main)
        def cli():
        	parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(description="this is an example parser")
        	parser.add_argument("arg", type=str,
        		help="positional arg")
        	args = parser.parse_args()
        	main(args)
        ```
        
        ### auto_enable (optional)
        Enable the GUI by default. If enabled by default requires `--disable-cli2gui`, otherwise requires `--cli2gui`
        
        ```python
        @Cli2Gui(auto_enable=False)
        ```
        
        ### parser (optional)
        Override the parser to use, defaults to argparse. Current options are:
        "argparse", "getopt", "optparse", "docopt"
        
        ```python
        @Cli2Gui(parser="argparse")
        ```
        
        ### gui (optional)
        Override the gui to use. Current options are:
        "pysimplegui", "pysimpleguiqt","pysimpleguiweb". Defaults to "pysimplegui".
        
        pysimplegui is the recommended option
        
        ```python
        @Cli2Gui(gui="pysimplegui")
        ```
        
        ### theme (optional)
        Set a base24 theme. Can also pass a base24 scheme file. eg. `one-light.yaml`
        
        ```python
        @Cli2Gui(theme=["#e7e7e9", "#dfdfe1", "#cacace", "#a0a1a7", "#696c77",
        		"#383a42", "#202227", "#090a0b", "#ca1243", "#c18401", "#febb2a",
        		"#50a14f", "#0184bc", "#4078f2", "#a626a4", "#986801", "#f0f0f1",
        		"#fafafa", "#ec2258", "#f4a701", "#6db76c", "#01a7ef", "#709af5",
        		"#d02fcd"])
        ```
        
        ### darkTheme (optional)
        Set a base24 dark theme variant. Can also pass a base24 scheme file. eg.
        `one-dark.yaml`
        
        ```python
        @Cli2Gui(darkTheme=["#282c34", "#3f4451", "#4f5666", "#545862", "#9196a1",
        		"#abb2bf", "#e6e6e6", "#ffffff", "#e06c75", "#d19a66", "#e5c07b",
        		"#98c379", "#56b6c2", "#61afef", "#c678dd", "#be5046", "#21252b",
        		"#181a1f", "#ff7b86", "#efb074", "#b1e18b", "#63d4e0", "#67cdff",
        		"#e48bff"])
        ```
        
        ### sizes (optional)
        Set the UI sizes such as the button size
        
        ```python
        @Cli2Gui(sizes={
        		"title_size": 28,
        		"label_size": (30, None),
        		"input_size": (30, 1),
        		"button":(10, 1),
        		"padding":(5, 10),
        		"helpText_size": 14,
        		"text_size": 11})
        ```
        ### image (optional)
        Set the program icon. File extensions can be any that PIL supports
        
        ```python
        @Cli2Gui(image="path/to/image.png")
        ```
        
        ### program_name (optional)
        Override the program name
        
        ```python
        @Cli2Gui(program_name="custom name")
        ```
        
        ### program_description (optional)
        Override the program description
        
        ```python
        @Cli2Gui(program_description="this is a custom description")
        ```
        
        ### max_args_shown (optional)
        Maximum number of args shown before using a scrollbar
        
        ```python
        @Cli2Gui(max_args_shown=5)
        ```
        
        ### menu (optional)
        Add a menu to the program. Defaults to None. eg.
        ```python
        THIS_DIR = str(Path(__file__).resolve().parent)
        menu={"File": THIS_DIR + "/file.md"}
        ```
        
        Works significantly better with pysimplegui than pysimpleguiqt
        
        ```python
        @Cli2Gui(menu={"File": THIS_DIR + "/file.md", "Another File": THIS_DIR + "/another_file.md", })
        ```
        
        ## Click
        ```python
        def Click2Gui(run_function, gui="pysimplegui", theme=None, darkTheme=None,
        		sizes=None, image=None, program_name=None, program_description=None,
        		max_args_shown=5, menu=None, **kwargs):
        ```
        
        Very similar to the decorator but with the following differences...
        
        ### run_function (required)
        Specify the click function to use. (attempts were made to offer full program
        support however this behaved very poorly)
        
        ### parser (not applicable)
        As this is exclusively for click, this option is not present
