Dear ImGui VS wxWidgets

The Dear ImGui readme is a good starting point: https://github.com/ocornut/imgui ...now of course Dear ImGui is a specific implementation of an immediate mode UI framework, but it's also the most popular implementation. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

Bonus: If you want to make desktop app with UI, then this is another great C++ library and it's also simple to learn as well. https://github.com/ocornut/imgui. Source: 5 months ago

Create your own GUIs and overlays using the popular ImGUI. Source: 6 months ago

There are also misc bugfixes, editor changes this time. But I'm a bit tired of win32 and plan to port Dear Imgui afterward. Or leave a comment if you have a good idea about the GUI! I'd like to be focus on the runtime rendering more and keep GUI programming as simple as possible. Source: 7 months ago

> [...] you can build UIs that are snappy and keyboard driven. That's not an advantage that is exclusive to TUIs; after all, you're running your TUI inside a graphical application that emulates a terminal. (Unless you're rocking an actual VT102, in which case I bow down to you.) In fact there's an entire class of applications that are extremely snappy and keyboard driven, by their very nature: games.

I decided to compile from scratch the latest wxWidgets from wxwidgets.org. And I compiled and installed successfully for both X11 and GTK. Source: 8 months ago

Some say qt, others wxwidgets, u++, sfml, here is a video from quick search on wxwidgets and c++ for beginners https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FOIbK4bJKS8 Choosethem depending on learning curve and where they will take you, you might learn something harder because it takes you farther to where you want to go.

> Java Swing still lets you make native-looking-and-feeling apps (with some care). I don't know of any new GUI frameworks that let you do the same. That's the whole raison d'être of the (C++) wxWidgets toolkit. [0] It fully commits to using native GUI widgets, rather than impersonating them. (That is, it wraps various other toolkits.) As others have pointed out, the other major cross-platform toolkits (Qt, GTK)... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

That all being said: We are now all waiting on wxwidgets to release their next stable version so that we can upgrade. It makes no sense to use an unstable version of that upstream, as in its development releases it literally breaks on every patch level release. It also makes no sense to start packaging a custom version of wxgtk just for audacity (the overhead required is just not worth it). Source: over 2 years ago

Looking good is very subjective of course… did you take a look at wxWidgets? https://wxwidgets.org/. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago
