Hi folks, I'm currently evaluating (GUI) toolkits, and I'm interested in the differences between QT and GTK. My code is going to be GPLed and I need it to be cross-platform. I've read a few previous threads from this list concerning this subject so I know all the basic stuff, but atleast some of the arguments I came across seems to be void these days. I have some questions: 1. Is the win32 version of GTK really that unstable? It's homepage still (as of today) contain a rather scary warning sign. 2. Name some successful (in terms of many users, well-known) GTK-based projects outside of the GNOME sphere? For instance QT has Opera and Adobe Elements, in heavy use, outside of KDE. 3. I guess there is a whole lot of people on list this that are using multiple toolkits, but for those who prefer GTK over other toolkits: What are your personal motivations for using GTK instead of something else? 4. There have been a lot of talk about OpenGL, composition engines and that kind of stuff lately. Is there are key difference between QT and GTK that's relevant in this context? I mean, is any of these toolkits better positioned to adopt to these changes (both upcoming 3D widgets and taking advantage of hardware caps to boost 2D performance) or is this more of an X issue rather than a toolkit issue? 5. If you where to start a cross-platform project today, with no prior knowledge of any toolkits or languages. In order to maximize code readability, programmer productivity and all that good stuff; what would you choose? QT or GTK or maybe Java or .NET? 6. Does GTK support per-application skins/themes? regards, martin _______________________________________________ gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
