It needs work in terms of the styling layer, when the GTK folk broke being able to change the colour of a button in code, relying instead on a CSSish external file, I gave up trying to keep up with the continual breakage. Anyway, take a look at cobweb-gtk. Discussion and some bragging https://sourceforge.net/p/gnucobol/discussion/cobol/thread/ab28685d/ Some griping https://sourceforge.net/p/gnucobol/discussion/lounge/thread/50081777/ The code https://sourceforge.net/p/gnucobol/contrib/HEAD/tree/trunk/tools/cobweb/cobweb-gtk/ That was 6 years ago now. Supposedly GTK+ 3 has "stabilized", (I think the GNOME folk ran out of stuff to break), but at this point GTK 4 is in the works and releases will probably go through another 5 years of continual breakage. Though that may well be a sour grapes opinion on my part. GNOME seems to think that desktop development should work on a touchscreen phone. Nice theory, but utterly wrong thinking in my humble opinion. Phones are devices for consuming, not efficient development nodes. I lean to Agar for a stable(r) path to GnuCOBOL GUI work now. A much smaller team works on libAgar, so it's not as refined in look, but still covers all the needs, in a much smaller but still cross-platform package. https://sourceforge.net/p/gnucobol/discussion/cobol/thread/c2ac66c1 Have good, do well, Blue
