imgui VS GTK+

Currently, I have narrowed potential libraries to: 1. Flutter 2. FLTK 3. Relm (GTK) 4. iced 5. Slint 6. Imgui, Imgui-rs 7. and gtk-rs

Imgui, Imgui-rs

Dear ImGui easy to use and understand immediate mode is simple to understand and fits games with a render loop Small file size Con: Doesn't look like your native OS widgets

- X Toolkit Intrinsics Reference Manual

However they have very little to do with how modern operating systems (Windows, MacOS) deal with that stuff.

As for toys, I'd recommend reading about Dear ImGui [1]. It handles everything you mentioned while being self-contained so you can see how everything works from top to bottom. Many talks and articles have been written about it though I can't vouch for any of them.

ImGUI (https://github.com/ocornut/imgui) probably as simple as it can get

One simple, rather unimportant GUI library is this one, and even they claim a pretty long user list

Dear ImGui and SFGUI are options.

Raylib was created primarily for game development. If all you need is a minimal graphics library for drawing ui, then I would check out Nuklear or IMGUI Raylib will not help all that much with writing code to interface with the arduino and calculate the map.

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

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

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:

I have never tested that, but according to the code in GDK (X11, Wayland) looks like set_pointer_emulated() is called on compatibility scroll events. Maybe looking through the code may give more insights

Try calling gdk_event_get_pointer_emulated. It's implemented for scroll events, too: https://github.com/GNOME/gtk/blob/master/gdk/gdkevents.c#L874
