gtk alternative

Open MyTDT-Mysoft opened this issue 1 year ago • 4 comments

"On Linux, V UI will be a full-featured lightweight alternative to GTK and Qt."

does that mean that....

  1. it will be usable from C like GTK
  2. it will be usable from V without external layout files and without object oriented features (again like GTK) or
  3. none of the above? (and so misleading sentence)

v ui use v and we use sokol as backend at least for now.

My understanding: ui will be usable from v, it might use layout files (like .ui files), it might have meta object system (like in qobject), it does not mention whether it will be object oriented or not.

Only in that case, ui can be an alternative to GTK or QT. Some similar features from GTK/QT might not be implemented to be lightweight .

well gtk does not need layout files... and GTK is usable from C (which does not have OOP capabilities), so the only way for it to be an alternative for that is by providing the same features :)

Who cares about GTK or QT, I don't want to replace them because I never used them. It should do it's job.
