Relm4 VS Gtk4-tutorial

Relm4 is the newer version for GTK4 https://github.com/AaronErhardt/relm4

[dependencies.relm4] git = "https://github.com/AaronErhardt/relm4" branch = "new-approach" [dependencies.relm4-macros] git = "https://github.com/AaronErhardt/relm4" branch = "new-approach"

Probably, many gtk-rs devs have used C before and also GObjects can give you more control in some cases. But for the most part you will be fine using idiomatic Rust with something like Relm4.

As for writing apps, I've been enjoying Rust + Relm4 (https://github.com/AaronErhardt/relm4), but it might be easier to start off with Python or Vala and GTK or similar. A lot of gnome apps are Python. This looks like a good way to get started: https://www.gtk.org/docs/language-bindings/python/

relm4 - like relm, but for GTK4

Creator of [Relm4](https://github.com/AaronErhardt/relm4 here. Of course I might be a bit biased but I honestly think Relm4 has currently the best cross-platform and full-featured GUI experience for Rust programmers :)

I'm working on relm4, an new version of relm using gtk4-rs

What's going on? I googled some more and found out from here that I have to use G_APPLICATION_FLAGS_NONE because ubuntu uses an older version of Glib-2.0 and im getting even more confused, if im trying to learn gtk how do i know in advance what i should even learn and what isn't going to work on my machine?

The problem is, how do you setup a top-level window "edit" menu that contextually supports these actions for whatever widget is focused. I honestly can't find any example. See this for example: https://github.com/ToshioCP/Gtk4-tutorial/blob/20b4a16175ae3f510151702c8a377b63547b13d8/src/menu3/menu3.c

have you tried this? https://github.com/ToshioCP/Gtk4-tutorial also https://github.com/frang75/nappgui is very interesting and promising.

I've been getting into GTK using ToshioCP's gtk4 tutorial but one thing that bothers me is the different looks on Windows. I've found some themes that could fix it, but I haven't figured out how I could embed my own theme + icons (.css file & subfolders with .SVG icons) into the application.

But after trying to follow along with the official documentation for glib I realized it's all a bit to complicated for me, and I'm really struggling to follow along with it (f*ck you ADHD). I then found a different tutorial that seems to be a bit more handholding and easier to follow along with, but my issue with that is that it doesn't cover glib and gobject, instead it just requires me to copy the code without understanding whenever any gobject related topics appear. I then found a book that fits my needs perfectly, but that is incomplete and as the book itself states it is far from finished, and from what I understand the creator gave up on it in 2019.
