I don't know what that bubbling is all about. You can easily intercept a signal to a child window via std.signals, in Qt this would be installing an event filter of some sort. So sink/bubble seems unnecessary. The library is far from being efficient. It recreates a main window memory buffer on each paint message from the OS (IOW very often), also unless I'm mistaken the widgets themselves don't have a backbuffer so the library assumes their paint routines are not expensive. But that's fixable. I don't know why HTML was used, although that's just an alternative front-end to the library as far as I can tell. It does seem like this library died pretty quickly, I don't recall of any projects that used it. Anyway, I don't know if Adam wants to work on a native or non-native GUI, for native ones in pure-D (not a wrapper over existing GUIs) he can look at DFL or something else from here: http://prowiki.org/wiki4d/wiki.cgi?GuiLibraries But the library is modular enough and could be used as a starting point, imo.
