  Wait, GTK was spun out of GIMP?
  • makapuf 6y ago
    Well, GTK means GIMP Tool Kit, so yes.
  • jsmith99 6y ago
    Yes and the GIMP devs are still hard at work trying to make GIMP use GTK 3... (beta recently released)
  • chunkyks 6y ago
    The name is short for "gimp tool kit", yes
  • zorked 6y ago
    Yes. GIMP used to use the proprietary Motif toolkit before, and GTK was created to get rid of this dependency. The Linux logo was created on a Motif version of GIMP (see screenshot): https://isc.tamu.edu/~lewing/linux/notes.html https://isc.tamu.edu/~lewing/linux/notes.html

  Thanks! I have been using GTK since the late 90s (1.x versions) but dropped of the devel list a few years ago due to lack of time/focus/interest. Would love to port my pet project to 4.x. :)
