Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Is there a way to disable the search "feature" inside the save dialog?
This is the GTK file chooser, not to be confused with the gnome file browser (nautilus). The repo is there. The issue for this particular bug is there. My merge request is there.

How many layers of UI inconsistencies are in Windows 11?
GTK and Gnome are almost 25 years old, and they're nowhere as messy as the Windows

How do create a GtkPopoverMenuBar from xml in GTK4?
I'm trying to port a small GTK3 project over to GTK4 and I'm stuck for a week or so at wrapping my head around menu bars. In GTK3 I used `GtkMenuBar` which is replaced by `GtkPopoverMenuBar` as far as I understand, but I don't understand how. All examples I've found for GMenuModel implemented that hamburger symbol which I don't like (example given).

Change color Adwaita theme
git clone gtk repo, git checkout the gtk-3-24 branch.

Work towards a standard appindicator protocol has started (with support from GNOME and KDE)
GNOME does maintain GTK. It is the core of their development platform. Its code is even hosted on GNOME's Gitlab

in '~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css' file. Please note this may break some apps somehow. Also, this is not solution, it's only a workaround. It's better to communicate with GTK developers here: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk

Any way to make Dolphin remember the last opened directory from within other applications, similar to Windows 10's file explorer?
Yeah, that's the Gtk file dialog. Please file a bug report at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk.

Trying to learn how to develop applications, stuck because of meson and gschemas.
I'm trying to make a text editor in gtk (yes I know there are already plenty of those, but it is a project to learn, not for actual use), and I got pretty far already I would think. I'm basically following the GTK docs for GTK4 and cross checking them with the examples from the GTK git. However I am stuck on something. The current most state of my program is broken, as I get this error when trying to start the program:

Short history of all Windows UI frameworks and libraries
You can kind of see the desktop UI train wreck in real time here.
We started with simple stable APIs for a common look and feel. For a while these were evolved and made available in other languages. This was back when native apps were consistent and intuitive and you could… uhh… actually write and ship them without bundling giant runtimes or checking a huge compatibility matrix.
Then around 2012 the train rounds the bend and screeeeech it hits some bad track and starts to derail. UI starts trying to emulate the web, a terrible UI platform, and sane compositional UI libraries and APIs are abandoned in favor of XML soup.
Since this stuff is a trash fire, this is followed by multiple incompatible attempts to replace or fix this. Most of these are abandoned dead ends.
Meanwhile the dev community just said fuck it and went to Electron, creating today’s world where a “hello world” app with an OK button is hundreds of megabytes and has to load an entire private copy of a language runtime and rendering engine.
Versions of this comedy of errors have occurred on every other platform, and of course there has been little effort to create a cross platform UI API that’s sane beyond Qt (with its own problems) and dozens of half completed OSS projects.
So enjoy Electron I guess.
There was one sane human being who tried to do this a while ago:
https://github.com/andlabs/libui
It’s the only sane desktop UI project I’ve seen in almost 20 years, an attempt to create an actual cross platform common API. But it’s abandoned of course, likely too difficult for one dev and nobody is going to provide financial support for anything that sane.
Maybe AI will get good enough some day that we can use it to do a thing like that.

Is there no simple GUI library for pure C?
What about https://github.com/andlabs/libui

Capy – Cross-platform library for making true native GUIs in Zig
Fantastic! This is similar to the C library `libui` since it also acts as a wrapper of native libraries of each platform.
If only there was a way to interface to these using some declarative minimal and highly opinionated programming language and paradigm...

Mathematical Patterns
For the GUI you will need a library or framework that interacts with your specifiv operating system and allows you to create windows and a canvas to which you can draw. You could give libui a chance.

libui-ng-sys: external FFI bindings for libui-ng
libui-ng is a cross-platform GUI library with native widgets written in C. It is based on an earlier, (currently) inactive project known as libui. While Rust bindings for libui have existed for years (see ui-sys and iui), there is no solution for the new libui-ng; libui-ng-sys aims to fill this role.

Not-gtk GUI Libs/frameworks for plain C
https://github.com/andlabs/libui is very nice, but unfortunately dead, if it serves your purpose consider using it, this is a fork under development https://github.com/libui-ng/libui-ng

Ask HN: Is there any cross platform non native GUI written in C that looks good?
https://github.com/andlabs/libui
Better yet, it has excellent DSLs that make it possible to build desktop apps in a way similar to HTML, but much better due to keeping all code dynamic in one language (no static/dynamic multi-language separation/mixing dissonance):
