Talk:List of platform-independent GUI libraries

Comment about "X/Motif"
I notice that this article uses "X/Motif" to denote that the PIGUI is usable under the X Window System. The Motif toolkit is just another toolkit that's usable under X. At least one of the PIGUI packages listed here, Qt, has nothing to do with Motif. It would be more accurate to denote the packages which support X with either "X Window System" or the shorter "X11". &mdash; Wwagner 15:14, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

Comment about "OpenLook"
On a similar note... one of the platforms listed is "OpenLook", which is not a platform. Strictly speaking, it's not even a thing; it's a common misspelling of either OPEN LOOK or OpenWindows. OPEN LOOK is a look and feel, OpenWindows is a way obsolete implementation of X11 specific to older releases of SunOS or Solaris.

OpenLook on Wikipedia is a redirect to the OPEN LOOK l&f; is that what's intended in this article?--NapoliRoma 08:08, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

Galaxy
Galaxy appears to have been acquired by a company called Ambiencia. See here:

It seems to me GTK+ and FLTK are not for developing once and obtaining a UI for each platform
It seems to me GTK+ and FLTK are not for developing once and obtaining a UI for each platform.

I believe you can install these tools on Windows, Mac, or Linux.

A true cross- platform UI developed once will be Apache Cordova.

Additions and Clarifications
Libui could be mentioned and added to the table; I won't do so myself due to a conflict of interest (having used it quite a lot lately and I can say it works on linux and windows quite ok). I actually came to look for alternatives to libui. The wikipedia page here could need some updates, in particular what "cross-platform" really entails to. 2A02:8388:1604:F600:6D3E:54F:D1:F386 (talk) 20:17, 26 August 2021 (UTC)

Suggestion for a new column/Row
I'd like to propose adding a short "Created" entry. Aka "gtk was created in 1999" or something like this. Can be a short entry to keep the table narrow-ish.

Use case and reasoning: via such an entry, the visitor could quickly sort it for the more recently created toolkits - perhaps these may be still actively maintained, for instance. That was my use case originally when I came here - I wanted to find alternatives to libui. I know that some exist on github but I am not good at finding these, so wikipedia should help there, IMO. 2A02:8388:1604:F600:6D3E:54F:D1:F386 (talk) 20:51, 26 August 2021 (UTC)
