You may want take a look to DQuick :
https://github.com/D-Quick/DQuick

It's run on top of openGL too, the main difference is that you describe 
the UI in dedicated script files. Scripts provide allow to provide fully 
dynamical UIs.

An UI file (original lua script format for the moment) :

GraphicItem
{	
     id = "main",

	Image {
		id = "kerningImageButton",
		
		source = "images/border-image.png",
		width = 300,
		height = 50,

		MouseArea {
			id = "kerningButton",
			width = function()
				return kerningImageButton.width
			end,
			height = function()
				return kerningImageButton.height
			end,
		},
	},

	ScrollView {
		id = "scrollView",
	
		y = function()
			return kerningImageButton.height
		end,
		width = function()
			return main.width
		end,
		height = function()
			return main.height - scrollView.y
		end,
		
		clip = true,

		Text {
			id = "text",
		
			wrapMode = Text.WrapMode.WordWrap,
		
			width = function()
				return scrollView.width
			end,
			height = function()
				return scrollView.height
			end,

			text = textFr,
			family = function()
				if (kerningButton.pressed) then
					return "AngsanaUPC"
				end
				return "Arial"
			end,
			fontSize = 24,
			fontStyle = function()
				if (kerningButton.pressed) then
					return Text.FontStyle.Italic
				end
				return Text.FontStyle.Regular
			end,
		},
	},
}
