    class MyTool(QMainWindow):
        def __init__(self, parent=get_maya_main_window()):
            ...

            # creating/storing loggers (self, QtLayout, loggers)

            self.ui.btn_ok.clicked.connect(self.show_messages)

        def closeEvent(self, event):
            # remove the widget from the loggers, call .close() on closeEvent()
            self.loggers.close()
            self.close()
    
    # sent messages are displayed in color on the ui widget and maya
