You use the ``CommonWindowUtils`` class to create custom widgets in the UI. The PyAEDT
Common Toolkit also provides the additional widgets described in :ref:`widgets`.

In addition to wrapped PySide6 widgets, the PyAEDT Common Toolkit provides these UI
templates to enhance the overall layout:

- ``left_column.ui``
- ``right_column.ui``
- ``main_pages.ui``

These templates serve as a foundation for creating default layouts. You can explore these templates in the
`ui templates <https://github.com/ansys/pyaedt-toolkits-common/tree/main/src/ansys/aedt/toolkits/common/ui/utils/ui_templates>`_
directory of the repository.
