Styling is similar to CSS but different. Wished someone would

Isn't this what GTK is essentially doing already where widget
rendering is primarily defined by CSS.
Yes but it's gtk, there's year of work behind the library. For a
homemade GUI library CSS or not CSS is really just bikeshedding
around the format. The real stuff is to write the rendering
engine. It becomes particularly tricky when the engine also
supports transformations. If something is not well done you see
it directly after rotation and translation.
