Hello
It seems that the idea of adding a medium-complexity GUI library to boost is popular, but that there are widely varying opinions on how it should be done.
I've written a first draft of a library that fulfils most of my expectations. It's available at http://www.turn.co.za/david/gui. It supports two platforms (Win32 and GTK2), and four user interface elements or widgets (window, label, button, text-entry). The design is such that it is extremely easy to support new platforms or widgets. ... I'd like to know what the boost community thinks before proceeding.
Not to start any religious war here, but gtk is based on C.
So?
If I was going to start a new effort, I'd certainly prefer Qt/kde, which is c++ based as a starting point.
Even better that the underlying toolkit be abstracted away, as appears to be the case here.
