You also have full freedom to make it look the way you want, as anything can be drawn. You can even decide how this dialog will respond to a key or pointer event. You can choose to enable moving it up and down on the screen (such default dialog move is implemented here).

The two implemented example dialogs below show how different layouts and components can be used.
