Talk:List of widget toolkits

LibRocket
Should be added, I think: https://github.com/libRocket/libRocket — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.39.37.99 (talk) 19:46, 14 July 2014 (UTC)

GWEN
Should be added, I think: https://github.com/garrynewman/GWEN — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.39.37.99 (talk) 19:45, 14 July 2014 (UTC)

High-level, low-level
So let's see, we have Motif and Xaw listed in both sections. What needs be done? --Jerome Potts (talk) 07:54, 25 January 2008 (UTC)


 * The comment in low-level only notes that both Motif and Xaw use Xt. (The remark that only they use it is inaccurate, but reflects common gossip, which needs a reliable source to qualify it). Tedickey (talk) 14:17, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

Sorting
i think the sorting should be cleaned up, as it doesn't really yield much usefull information - f.ex. GTK+ is available for most languages, and its SVG based, and it runs on the X-window system. I think Toolkits should rather be sorted after on which platform they are available, or on which languages. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.191.19.129 (talk) 20:37, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

ZK
What about ZK (www.zkoss.org, open source RIA framework); should it be listed here as well? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.148.214.178 (talk) 13:47, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

Amiga OS Intuition
''Since Amiga OS 2.0, Intuition.library became disk based [...]. Also Workbench.library and Icon.library became disk based [...].''

In my teenage years, I ran AmigaOS 2.05 (release version 37). I cannot remember that I ever have seen that library on disk. Maybe somebody should check that claim for those three libraries. 91.67.108.234 (talk) 08:51, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

As far as I recall intuition library was always in ROM and the other two (workbench and icon) were always on disk. The 2.0 release did see the addition of gadtools.library on top of intuition and I'm fairly certain that was in ROM too. 80.177.15.191 (talk) 12:33, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

Difference between High- and Low-Level
The difference between high-level and low-level should be explained. One could argue that it is intuitively understandable. But why is Cocoa low-level? It brings a pretty high level of abstraction and a big collection of widgets. In order to use it, you need to know few about the operation of the window system. Maybe the sections should be separated into "native APIs" and "APIs on top". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 139.6.109.5 (talk) 07:38, 25 November 2009 (UTC) Actually, Microsoft has already abandoned integrated graphics since 2006 for their Windows system. I do not have a source, but suspect that Apple does not integrate graphics in the kernel any more since OS X. The difference would be whether the system switches to kernel mode for graphics function calls. Btw, I am not sure about the remark on Xt; isn't Xt an abstract layer, which was supposed to allow developers develop different widgets sets with a common programmers' interface ? I support the suggestion about native APIs, it is just that Microsoft's native NT api is undocumented Greenskynr151 (talk) 14:26, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

Dynamic Windows
What about including the Dynamic Windows library in the list? It is available here: http://dwindows.netlabs.org It is under a BSD-like license, supports OS/2, Windows, Unix and Mac. It is written in C (and Objective-C on the Mac) and has bindings for REXX. Os2nuke (talk) 18:30, 12 June 2011 (UTC)

Table

 * I've started a comparison table which, as it is also sortable, enables the reader to quickly compare different toolkits. Please expand the list and tweak it as you see fit. -- Mecanismo | Talk 14:32, 15 December 2011 (UTC)

IUP really for Mac OS?
The document says list IUP as a toolkit available for Linux, MacOS and Windows. Looking at UIP Availability, I can't see any mention of MacOS. The page shows no MacOS screen‑shot neither. Is this something to be fixed in the page (the one at Wikipedia)? --Hibou57 (talk) 12:37, 5 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Funny… Wikipedia is right, and that's the IUP website which is wrong. Another location, SourceForge, shows IUP indeed exist for MacOS: sourceforge.net/projects/iup/files/3.6/Other Libraries. --Hibou57 (talk) 12:49, 5 September 2012 (UTC)

WinAPI
The "Comparison of widget toolkits" table lists the "Main language" for WinAPI as C++, but the WinAPI page says "The Windows API (Win32) is focused mainly on the programming language C". I think it's this page that's wrong, but I'm not certain enough to make the edit just yet. -- MQ Duck (talk) 11:57, 22 January 2017 (UTC)
