I like Qt applications.
Especially with the the ones that use the KDE framework.
David Butler
I want to try building an app with Godot, seems like it might be good for GUIs.

kirigami seems pretty based

One application was made in it called Armor Paint
I haven't yet figured out how it actually accomplished the whole GUI thing though, and how well it translates to applications that don't need the entire screen to be redrawn every frame
Cooper Howard
Basically its just QT. Some corner cases where WxWidgets, FOX, or FLTK might be ok. But most of the time they are poor choices.
Also, immediate mode GUIs aren't a great choice for a lot of applications. Rendered mode has been the standard for decades because they have advantages over GPU/OpenGL based solutions
Parker Collins
>how well it translates to applications that don't need the entire screen to be redrawn every frame
In their documentation it says there's a mode that doesn't do that on PC.

qt is nice apart from the retarded complex painter stuff you need for MVC. Pretty sure it comes from the OOP nature of qt could be wrong though. Wish they would just copy whatever gtk4 has thats easy as hell to use.
qml is also pretty cool but its so barebones that its hard to make sense of
gtk works well if you put in the effort and do the stuff like the gnome devs want you to do do anything outside the norm and be prepared to wade through pools of shitty docs and questionable source code that contradicts itself.
html+js is top its so fucking easy to build and straightforward
never like imgui much it always turns into a mess for complex applications
android shit can go fuck itself its like 10 standard all of which are obsolete and the ide itself takes like 6gb ram.
Blake Harris
well in that case making GUIs in Godot seems pretty legit for my use-case, the only question is how god awful state and event handling could be
Benjamin Morris
GTK4 + libadwaita
Dont even try to convince me otherwise, ive already hidden this thread
Mason Powell
WinUI 3

rofi is good for making simple row based interfaces
David Anderson
>Armor Paint
no that's made with ArmoryEngine

It's beautiful.

>rendered mode
what are you on about
>they have advantages over GPU/OpenGL
what the absolute fuck are you on about. if you're talking about retained mode UI toolkits, modern ones use the GPU too
Thomas King
Blender's interface is great. I don't know what toolkit it uses, but I'd take a whole DE written in it.
Parker Bailey
>what are you on about
He's a schizo.
>what toolkit it uses
This is your zoomer brain on javascript.
It doesn't use any fucking toolkit.
Joshua Martinez
Almost looks like the Doom editor
Henry Flores
the bloat of the average retained mode data structure far outweighs any 'benefit' from not just re-rendering every frame. Hell, you don't even need to do that, you can keep the output in a buffer and re-render everything once an action occurs or the mouse clicks. That'll get you performance savings without any kind of retained mode nightmare datastructure
Bentley Diaz
Boomers made blender, they know how to build things from scratch without children's muh toolkit blocks.
Michael Mitchell
This will probably make some people angry, but you're right.
