Gtk4 Tutorial

Thanks, it works.
However adding a GtkApplicationWindow and a GtkButton inside of the component tree is not updating the preview area. Adding a know valid GTK3 .ui file [0] does not update the preview area either.
Seems like the "preview" button is also missing from Glade. Oh well, let's edit XML files afterall. :)

gtk-rs
Rust GUI Development?
2 projects | /r/rust | 30 Jul 2023

GTK: I have little - no experience with GTK, and from what i have read it is cross-platform similar to wxWidgets, however is an emulated UI system similar to Qt. As i have no experience with it i am not sure how well supported this library is as far as it's Rust - bindings are concerned gtk-rs
gtk-rs: can't get window ID with command inside connect_show or connect_realize
2 projects | /r/learnrust | 6 Mar 2023

In a gtk-rs application, I'm running a xdotool command to get the id of the application's window. I'm running the command in a connect_show closure (after the window has been shown):
My (challenging) experience building a window switcher for Ubuntu
6 projects | /r/rust | 5 Mar 2023

To build the UI, I used gtk-rs. My experience with this library was quite pleasant; it was easy to use and there were a lot of examples. However, it isn't as widely used as, say, React, so it was difficult to find answer on Stack Overflow (I come from a JavaScript/Typescript background).
x11rs can't access window created with gtk-rs
2 projects | /r/learnrust | 21 Feb 2023

I'm using x11rb to interact with a window created with gtk-rs. window_id is the ID of the window created with gtk-rs. window_id_2 is the ID of the window created with x11rb (for testing purposes).
What GUI libs are out there and good to use?
9 projects | /r/rust | 19 Feb 2023

I haven't used it yet, but gtk-rs looks pretty good too. I've used GTK in general, just not the Rust bindings so far. The tutorials seem nice and GTK is a good UI toolkit overall.
gtk-rs: triggering code after the window has been shown
1 project | /r/learnrust | 19 Feb 2023

I'm using gtk-rs. I want to trigger some code after the window has been shown (has displayed on the screen):
Adding ListBoxRow to ListBox from inside a closure
1 project | /r/learnrust | 11 Feb 2023

I'm using gtk-rs to add ListBoxRow items to a ListBox. The items are successfully added if I do it outside of input.connect_changed, a closure. But nothing is added if I do it from inside input.connect_changed:

gtk-ks: Join the Effort to create GTK Bindings for Kotlin!
8 projects | /r/Kotlin | 7 Feb 2023

Out there there are already some open source projects trying to do this, but most of them are abandoned or in a very alpha stage. The most promising project so far seems to me git-kt. This project is trying to do something similar to what gtk-rs does for Rust, which is using GObject Introspection (GIR) files to generate Kotlin native bindings automatically.
