GTK is fucking trash so QT wins by default.

The one the new G'MIC for Gimp uses: Qt

They're both fucking shit.

How is Tk/TCL? How about Tk/Lua?

>Unsupported therefore it's shit
You're everything wrong with FOSS faggot

Qt uses C++ so it must be shit

gtk tries to make C be OOP what's your point

qt is breddy chitty

the license is also of concern.

Lumina uses QT and it's pretty good. QT must be the winner then.

gtk = c/c++
wxwidgets = c++
qt = c++

if you use c gtk is your onlx option if usóóyou use c++ you have a bunch of options.though gtk is my favorite

Qt forever always.

Just add a module written in C++ to interface with the GUI. The core of your application should be separate from the graphic interface anyway.

Shit software != unusable software

This, but unfortunately the alternatives are even worse. Even all native widget libraries on all other platform, no exception.

Still better than using C for a toolkit.

>The core of your application should be separate from the graphic interface anyway.
Yeah, good luck trying to do that for any application with a realtime viewport.

GTK was hijacked by Red Hat, therefore it's shit.
Plus, their plans for GTK 4 and onwards are so retarded and inconvenient that everyone should be migrating to QT or forking GTK already.

Is there a reason why we can't just use gtk2 forever?

QT is ugly as shit.

Have fun will all your programs looking autistic

gtk devs are fucking idiots
so qt by default

should switch to it myself, but I'm a lazy cunt

qt is gpl'd, unless you pay for a closed source license, what license worries are there now?

tk is easy, but looks wholly awful on not-windows and fairly awful even there where it is using (old, win9x-style) native controls
dumb as heck

>forking a toolkit
Toolkits require much manpower. Consider Verdigris, a Qt fork that is dead in the water.
If you fork a toolkit you need an army of programmers or at least a really good team.

FLTK ;^)

see fltk doesnt even has enough manpower to put up an ok website

Qt is LGPL'd. You don't have to open source your program as long as you link to shared libraries. I bet that's the part that worries him

GTK is LGPL just like 99% of FOSS libraries. There's nothing to be concerned about.

the one that's relevant outside linux's 2% desktop market share

it was designed around X and everyone is trying to give up on X
at least, that's why the GTK team was pushing GTK3, so it's probably an awful answer

Well xwayland will be around for at least another 20 years.

Are there any patched for Ubuntu to add a thumbnail view to GTK2 and 3?

For GTK2 there's a patch for icon view in the upload dialog. You have to patch glib2 and gtk2. The glib2 patch still works fine no problem.
gist.github.com/ahodesuka

ahodesuka's gtk2 patch is outdated (for 2.24.30-3) and breaks with the latest version, 2.24.31-1. However, I did go through it and rather simply fix it for 2.24.31-1 and it works fine for me. I'm not sure if ahodesuka has completely abandoned it or not, but in the mean time the 2.24.31-1 version of the patch is here.

Sorry stupid spam filter.

Oh yeah, and I'm not sure if there is a simple way to make packages for ubuntu (never tried it), but I would suggest patching the source and then making a package out of that since you are fucking with gtk2 and glib2. You'd want your package manager to know those are present on the system otherwise you'll get a bunch of annoying error messages.

GTK2 because I'm used to it and its file manager is the only decent one. Updates forced me to use GTK3's and it's shit it's all flat and material and it's got animations and it just sucks.

QT is alright, don't like the KDE file manager either but using QT stuff isn't the worst thing anymore.

this

Qt has tons of widgets but the one (ONE) thing that kills Qt is that it's written in Qt

tk/motif > qt > gtk+

>and its file manager is the only decent one
lol?

Qt for windows

GTK for loonix

Tcl is fucking weird, but you get used to it.
Is supports imperative, OO, and functional programming.
You just have to get used to everything being a string, and the difference between {} and ""

The majority on this board are schoolkids, they look at the languages from the academic perspective not from the practical one. They praise C and Haskell because these languages are good for starters to get understanding the basic concepts. Don't take them seriously.

Whichever one realizes that rolling their own containers and templating libraries was a mistake and refactors to use C++ stdlib and STL as God intended.
