About:
GTK+ (GIMP Toolkit) is a multi-platform toolkit for creating graphical user interfaces. It provides a comprehensive set of widgets for building modern desktop applications on Linux, Windows, and macOS. Offering a flexible object-oriented framework and extensive theming support, it is the foundation for the GNOME desktop environment.
Key Features:
  • Cross-platform GUI toolkit
  • Extensive widget library
  • CSS-based theming and styling
  • Language bindings for multiple languages
Use Cases:
  • Developing native Linux desktop applications
  • Building cross-platform GUI tools
  • Creating custom user interfaces for embedded systems
Alternatives:
  • Qt – Qt is a more comprehensive C++ framework including application and UI framework, whereas GTK+ is primarily a widget toolkit.
  • wxWidgets – wxWidgets aims to use native platform widgets where possible, while GTK+ draws its own widgets for consistent theming.
