copperspice VS GTK+

Tangentially, I just listened to an old cppcast about https://www.copperspice.com/, a QT fork with ambitions of being more c++-ey.

There was already a fork of Qt 4. It is tootling along fine: https://www.copperspice.com/

BTW, CopperSpice sounds pretty close to what you're mentioning: https://www.copperspice.com

If you already have a lot of use of Qt your might find CopperSpice to be a reasonable compromisehttps://www.copperspice.com/

exactly I'm quite happy to have my code written for me. If you don't like the moc you can use CopperSpice https://www.copperspice.com/

CopperSpice might be worth looking at too. Coming from Qt you're probably going to like it better than wxWidgets.

So I strongly dislike Qt. It's got a predatory vision for open source enforcement where they mislead their customers with spoopy language and make it harder and harder to download. In addition, they continue to insist on an architecture that's not even actually C++ (it's got a different grammar) despite it being completely possible to architect a better version of their designs in standard C++.

See copperspice project. Originally forked to work around short coming of Meta-Object Compilation.

Clone https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk

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.

GTK and Gnome are almost 25 years old, and they're nowhere as messy as the Windows

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).

git clone gtk repo, git checkout the gtk-3-24 branch.

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

Yeah, that's the Gtk file dialog. Please file a bug report at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk.

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:
