kirk781Linux is the reason Windows apps are bloated these days
MoogleMaestroElectron is the only cross platform gui toolkit…
If you ignore QT, GTK and everything else.
I’m so glad that Microsoft makes an awesome cross platfor— wait, no, but they contribute code to— hmmm … Hey, what does Microsoft do to make apps more portable again?
teolanGTK is not accessible anywhere other than Linux and is therefore not a serious option outside of Linux.
XenGiI said accessible not available. If you don’t know what it means, accessibility means integrating with the OS screen readers and other similar tools so that everyone can use your app, not only people by people with good eyesight, and capable of using a mouse.
frunchI mean… Windows could probably contribute to GTK if they wanted to expose their accessibility APIs. This would in theory be a good use of time.
It is. It’s just not particularly good outside of a X11/Wayland environment.
I think this being worked on though.
mittorn@jollyrogue @XenGi it is not particularly good outside of Gnome environment
Gtk2 and Gtk3 is fine outside of gnome. Gtk4 especially with Libadwaita is heavily focused on Gnome.
@XenGi while gtk2 can be adapted to qt/kde/win/mac look&feel with theme engines, gtk3 does not support it anymore and will work outside gnome, but will not look good. Yes, it's possible to make css theme, but this will require much work to manually adapt every theme to gtk3/css, and moreover, may break on updates. Most of Redmond-like gtk3 theme implementations are broken now and even actually supported themes looks partially broken. Ideas like "Please don’t theme our apps" makes situation even worse, they literally want turn desktop to some inconsistent zoo.
