If it is impossible, then what is the best way to using

UIManager and UIWidget?

You can do either a static import or renamed import. The static import 
requires using the fully-qualified name; renamed imports let you set a 
local name for the module.

    static import ui.widget;
    ui.widget.SomeWidget w;
    
    import mymanager = ui.manager;
    mymanager.uiManager m;

It should be:

ui.manager.Manager uiManager;

D namespaces generally follow the format [package 
names].moduleName.Type. So to have ui.Manager, then either the 
module, not the package, needs to be named 'ui', or you need to 
do the following:

// file ui/package.d
module ui;
public import ui.manager;

// file ui/manager.d
module ui.manager;
class Manager {}

Then you should be able to use ui.Manager and bypass the module 
name. The alternatives of static and named imports also work, but 
they need to be repeated in every module in which you want to use 
them.
