Avalonia ​

The Avalonia host displays Godot inside a cross-platform desktop window using 2dog.avalonia. Avalonia controls can overlap the game, including translucent controls.

Use It ​

From your Godot project directory:

bash
dnx 2dog add --avalonia
dotnet run --project MyGame.avalonia

Customize It ​

A GodotSession owns the engine and runs frames on the UI thread. GodotControl displays the viewport and forwards input. UI event handlers can access game state through session.Engine.Tree.

See the showcase host for a pause button, time-scale slider, and FPS display.

Publish It ​

Publish like the generic host, with or without Native AOT. See Avalonia Configuration for build and publish settings.

Requirements ​

  • Avalonia 12.1 or later on Windows, Linux, or macOS.
  • Keep the generated Windows app manifest for correct DPI scaling.
  • IME composition and captured mouse input are not supported yet.
