Decent cross platform GUI toolkits.
 
I've used/found GTK and wxWidgets (formally wxWindows).
Know of any others? Got any experience.

To be used with C/C++ (or even lua).

Thanks a lot,
Weeks.

I should have seen this earlier. What do you need this for? I know about a commonly used OpenGL/multimedia framework often used for games that is cross-platform, but the name escapes me right now...

...

*searches*

...

SDL it was. It's a multimedia library so it does about everything low-level for you from graphics to input to sound. I don't know if it has any window stuff in it though.

How is LUA BTW? I haven't had the nescesity to look into it yet but I might need a scripting module in the future and LUA seems to be quite the standard.

Look into :

C++: www.fox-toolkit.org (specialized for opengl related apps)
C++: www.trolltech.com (QT is only free for use if you gonna build open source applications)

A friend of mine uses the fox toolkit with great content. Docs are fairly good. Never got into Qt though, but if you wanna know how good Qt is, open up KDE and you are right in Qt's territory.

SDL is the open source alternative for directx , it uses opengl as graphical library.

Happy Coding

I've developed stuff on QT, and while it takes a little getting used too, it isn't too shabby.
