How can a UI toolkit be more native than GTK on Linux?
- PaulDavisThe1st 5y agoYou can be as native as GTK on Linux :)
- analognoise 5y agoGTK is not required on Linux for FreePascal GUIs. See MSEIde, which is directly X11: https://github.com/mse-org/mseide-msegui https://github.com/mse-org/mseide-msegui "MSEgui is a complete independent Free Pascal widgetset. It does not use any other widgetsets like GTK2/GTK3/Qt4/Qt5. MSEgui interacts on Unix directly with X11 server (like other widgetsets do). On Windows, it deals with the low level Windows GDI interface." Although a separate windowing set than Lazarus, both are enabled by the FreePascal compiler. Lazarus does have a GTK backend as an option on Linux.
