GUI for using with Zig

Help
1

Hi,

is there a certain GUI recommended to be used with Zig?

…may be one written in zig itsself?

Cheers!

Nothing written from scratch in zig that I know of. There are however a few GTK+ wrappers. But also anything with a nice c API should work fine thanks to zig’s lean c interoperability.

Hi 1ynx,

Thanks a lot! :slight_smile:

Cheers!

I noticed that after changing a theme the name of chosen one is not shown, instead ‘Adwaita Light’ is in the widget all the way.

probably just a small bug, plus that’s not mine
we should raise an issue to the official github repo

Whoops! Sorry about that - I hadn’t updated the web demo since that got fixed. It should be fixed in the web demo now.

I wrote DVUI with the intention that it be on the shortlist for people looking to make a GUI with zig. It might or might not fit your situation, but you should at least consider it!

what do you mean by shortlist? does it refer to the fact that there aren’t many zig ui libraries?

Shortlist is used as an expression, basically meaning a selection of good candidates for something, in this context it means that DVUI has a goal to be one of the good options for implementing a GUI with zig.
