Immediate mode is a fuzzy concept, as witnessed by this writeup: https://github.com/ocornut/imgui/wiki/About-the-IMGUI-paradi...

It's fun to see the evolution in e.g. these examples of image loading for Dear Imgui:

https://github.com/ocornut/imgui/wiki/Image-Loading-and-Disp...

DirectX9 will even load the image for you, DirectX11 okay we get a few more structures to fill out, DirectX12 is where it goes off the rails and we are filling out a bunch of UNKNOWN DONT_CARE JUST_DO_IT. Then of course Vulkan is the one that gets the big fat "this probably won't actually work for you" warning.

I understand whats happening, but you know sometimes I just want to display a fucking image.

ImGui is engine/GPU agnostic

Themeing isn't a just a retained mode thing, you can do wonders with immediate UIs, even thought (dear)ImGui doesn't provide much, you can still do wonders: https://github.com/ocornut/imgui/issues/707#issuecomment-362...

Bonus: If you want to make desktop app with UI, then this is another great C++ library and it's also simple to learn as well. https://github.com/ocornut/imgui.

AFAIK the Rust equivalent to C++'s Dear ImGui is egui.

They use a Dear ImGui, a C++ GUI library.

Aside from bugs and driver issues, Wayland has some unfortunate design limitations. For example, Dear ImGui multi-viewports don't work because "Wayland doesn't let application read or write windows positions."

This is a feature available on Windows, macOS, and of course X11. Making choices like this means desktop Linux becomes even more of a weird island that nobody wants to support.

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:
