Re: Most compatible AND useful toolkit for use in GNOME
Thanks everyone for your input. I've decided to go with GTK+ for now because it seems the most supported and integrate-able with GNOME. It's python binding is also quit easy to use. My next choice would be wxwidgets.

Re: Most compatible AND useful toolkit for use in GNOME
Well if you want to write applications for GNOME, you should use Gtk: https://python-gtk-3-tutorial.readthedocs.org/en/latest/index.html There used to be a wonderfull pygtk all-in-one installer for Windows, but now, with pygi, I failed to find one. I know it's possible to use pygi on Windows without having a dedicated installer for it, but I guess it'd help newcomers greatly if we had one. ___ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
Re: Most compatible AND useful toolkit for use in GNOME
Qt is an entirely unrelated toolkit, it has nothing to do with Gtk. Yes, that is true. It's not necessarily GTK I intend to use, although that is what I would *like*. Taking into consideration which is the easiest to learn, and which will be able to target the most users, Qt seems like a good toolkit for these purposes. Qt also looks quite native on the new GNOME 3.6, albeit appearing like the old GTK+ theme. I am actually quite biased towards GTK, but the idea of being able to develop for multiple platforms seems quite attractive (in regard to Qt). -- Marco Scannadinari ma...@scannadinari.co.uk ___ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list

I am actually quite biased towards GTK, but the idea of being able to develop for multiple platforms seems quite attractive (in regard to Qt). looking like and integrated are two fairly different concepts. there are some integration points, mostly because of the work done at the X11 and freedesktop.org level, between toolkits, but clearly: if you want to integrate with GNOME, GTK is the toolkit you should use. application menus, the various APIs to handle authorization, integration with web services, and remote file systems are in GNOME platform libraries. plus, GTK is moderately portable on different platform — up to a point, at least; the main difference between Qt and GTK approaches at multi-platform portability is that Qt defers to the platform, whereas GTK is providing the platform (and papering over it, where possible). ciao, Emmanuele. -- W: http://www.emmanuelebassi.name B: http://blogs.gnome.org/ebassi/ ___ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
Most compatible AND useful toolkit for use in GNOME
Hi, What are your recommendations for a toolkit that is best suited to GNOME app development (obviously GTK+3), but also useful in developing apps for other distros / OSs - I feel that the general suggestion is Qt. Others have said even wxWidgets, because it draws native widgets according to the environment. Keep in mind my language of choice is python (3) and am quite new to graphical app development.

That is true, wxwidgets does allow your application to look like a native application between OSX, windows, and Gtk, and Qt. The problem with wxwidgets is that it is a subset of all systems, so you don't get the full power of Gtk, you just get a small subset of it, and it's somewhat limiting.
