Could you give a little more information? Custom GUIs will show up automatically in your Toolbox as shown in the picture below:

In order to have a window that you can anchor (to some extent), I would suggest using a Dashboard as follows:

First, create or open your Custom GUI:

Then, open a dashboard and add a "GUI Class" object:

Then, while in edit mode, select the GUI Class object. In the Quick Properties, find the eyedropper tool next to "Link" and use it to sample your Custom GUI:

This will create a Custom GUI that will function as a Dashboard window.

Hopefully this helps! Feel free to comment back if you're looking for something different or need clarification.

This is a great workaround. That´s exactly what I´m going to do.
