About:
Glade is a Rapid Application Development (RAD) tool that allows developers to visually design GTK+ and GNOME application user interfaces. It generates XML files that can be loaded by applications at runtime, separating UI design from application logic. This streamlines the development process by eliminating the need to manually write interface code.
Key Features:
  • Visual drag-and-drop interface designer
  • Generates GtkBuilder XML format
  • Supports C, Python, Vala, and other languages
  • Interactive widget property editor
  • Signals editor for event handling
Use Cases:
  • Designing user interfaces for GTK+ applications
  • Creating cross-platform desktop application frontends
  • Rapid prototyping of GNOME application layouts
Alternatives:
  • Qt Designer – Qt Designer is for Qt framework, while Glade is specifically for GTK+/GNOME
  • App Designer – Part of RAD environments like Lazarus/Delphi, different ecosystem focus
