Ah, that reminds me, I once thought that tabbed which I otherwise don't

Ah, the library I was thinking of was libsl. I just looked at the
source and it's almost *perfect*. It provides the right amount of
abstraction I want and basic drawing functions. All that I need is a
text widget implemented. A menu lookk pretty simple to cook up and a

The EFL are written in C and focus in both performance and portability
all the major platforms are supported (and then some).

and have used it to wrap around C code quite nicely, reading s

Hey,
Does anyone know of a graphics library that supports a text and menu

around. The closest
