GTK+ 2.22.1-1

GTK+ 2.22.1-1 is developed to be an essential as well as highly usable, feature rich toolkit for creating graphical user interfaces which boasts cross platform compatibility and an easy to use API.

GTK+ it is written in C, but has bindings to many other popular programming languages such as C++, Python and C# among others. GTK+ is licensed under the GNU LGPL 2.1 allowing development of both free and proprietary software with GTK+ without any license fees or royalties.

GTK+ has been involved in many projects and some big platforms. To see what people think of GTK+ and how it has been used in commercial projects, read the success stories...

Major Features:

1. Stability
   • GTK+ has been developed for over a decade to be able to deliver the enticing features and superb performance that it brings to your application development. GTK+ is supported by a large community of developers and has core maintainers from companies such as Red Hat, Novell, Lanedo and Opened Hand.
2. Cross Platform
   • Originally GTK+ was developed for X Windows but it has grown over the years to include backend support for other well known windowing systems. Today you can use GTK+ on:
   • GNU/Linux and Unix
   • Windows
   • Mac OS X
3. Language Bindings
   • GTK+ is available in many other programming languages thanks to the language bindings available. This makes GTK+ quite an attractive toolkit for application development.
4. Mobile
   • The GMAE (GNOME Mobile & Embedded) initiative has advanced the use, development and commercialization of GNOME components as a mobile and embedded user experience platform. It has brought together industry leaders, expert consultants, key developers and the community and industry organizations they represent. As a direct result of this, GTK+ has features pertaining to mobile and embedded platform requirements.
   • GTK+ has been involved in a number of embedded initiatives over the past few years including the development of:
   • • Nokia 770 / N800 / N810
     • One Laptop Per Child Project
     • OpenMoko
5. Accommodating
   • GTK+ caters for a number features that today's developers are looking for in a toolkit, they include:
   • • Native look and feel
     • Theme support
     • Thread safe
     • Object orientated approach
     • Internationalization
     • Localization
     • Accessibility
     • Bidirectional text support (LTR/RTL, Left To Right/Right To Left)
     • UTF8 support
     • Documentation
6. Interfaces
   • GTK+ has a comprehensive collection of core widgets which include:
   • • Windows (normal window or dialog, about and assistant dialogs)
     • Displays (label, image, progress bar, status bar)
     • Buttons and toggles (check buttons, radio buttons, toggle buttons and link buttons)
     • Numerical (horizontal or vertical scales and spin buttons) and text data entry (with or without completion)
     • Multi-line text editor
     • Tree, list and icon grid viewer (with customizable renderers and model/view separation)
     • Combo box (with or without an entry)
     • Menus (with images, radio buttons and check items)
     • Toolbars (with radio buttons, toggle buttons and menu buttons)
     • UI Manager (creating menus and toolbars from XML)
     • Selectors (color selection, file chooser, font selection)
     • Layouts (tabulated widget, table widget, expander widget, frames, separators and more)
     • Status icon (notification area on Linux, tray icon on Windows)
     • Printing widgets
     • Recently used documents (menu, dialog and manager)
7. Foundations
   • GTK+ is built on top of GLib. GLib provides the fundamental algorithmic language constructs commonly duplicated in applications. This library has features such as (this list is not a comprehensive list):
   • • Object and type system
     • Main loop
     • Dynamic loading of modules (i.e. plug-ins)
     • Thread support
     • Timer support
     • Memory allocator
     • Threaded Queues (synchronous and asynchronous)
     • Lists (singly linked, doubly linked, double ended)
     • Hash tables
     • Arrays
     • Trees (N-ary and binary balanced)
     • String utilities and charset handling
     • Lexical scanner and XML parser
     • Base64 (encoding & decoding)

Requirements:

• Windows 2K / XP / 2003 / Vista / XP X64 / Vista64 / 7 / 7 x64
