GTK+ GTK+ (GIMP Toolkit) is a cross-platform widget toolkit for creating graphical user interfaces, mainly used environments GNOME, XFCE, LXDE, ABIWORD, GNUMERIC, ROX, etc It can also be used on Windows, MacOS and mobile devices. In this article, we’ll look at three cross-platform GUI toolkits. There are many factors based on which we decide the right graphical library for the application, some of them are:ĭoes the application need to run on Windows or MacOS or Linux or Android or all (cross platforms) ?ĭoes the application need dynamic effects and animations like iOS or Android?ĭoes the application need to run on CPU or GPU ?ĭoes the application need Internationalization support ?ĭoes the application need native look and feel ?
With Open Source software, there is often more than one good option. One of the decisions we need to take when building a UI for devices is what graphical libraries to use.
