As a side note both GTK and Qt can be used under Windows and macOS, and looking at wxWidgets you have also more than a GTK version (2 and 3...

sorry, it was just an example to point out that other than more than one backend per platform there could be also a matter of versions of the same one,...

I was tempted to suggest the same about using artist because opengl but I wasn't the right person 😛 I'm just thinking if it could be possible to keep the...

to me using host() in one platform and host()->host in another looks odd TBH, I don't see why not return the native handle/object (`Gtk{Widget|Window}` or `NS{View|Window}`) directly instead, but I...

The `host_view` class is declared in base_view.cpp, IIUC that is the one to use for cairo access to the surface. But I see there are some problems to interface cairo...

I'm not sure what you requested is a [simple Qt example] or a basic Qt elements host case, on which I have only implemented the application and window classes, not...
