What it does
LibAceGUIWidgets has no window of its own. You install it because another addon lists it as a dependency. Those addons build their windows, lists and form fields from its ready-made widgets, so they all share one look.
It provides a movable, resizable main window, a scrolling data list with sortable and filterable columns, a date picker with a month calendar, dropdown menus with submenus, and form helpers such as checkboxes and a search box. When an addon built on it opens a window, these are most likely the pieces you see.

What changes in game when I install it?
Nothing on its own. It has no window. If an addon that uses it is installed, that addon's windows are drawn with these widgets.
