        .set_type(MessageType::Info)

    assert_eq!(result, true);

Misc

Why the dialogs look ugly/blurry on Windows?

Turn on crate features or embed manifests into the .exe to enable visual styling and dpi awareness for your program. Check out examples/windows_manifest and examples/windows_features for example.

Why the program crashed when opening a dialog on macOS?

The API of macOS has a limitation that all UI operations must be performed on the main thread.
