    It is easier to just use `XGetIconSizes` than try to pull it out of configs or doing some kind of plist parsing. Here is the function GNUstep uses... It should not be difficult to pull the relevant stuff out for use in C.

    > Question: is Objective-C post 2.0 being actively maintained outside of Apple?

    Yes as part of the GNUStep project [1]. You can compile Objective-C with Clang for any platform, including Windows, and link with the GNUStep Obj-C runtime. The big problem is outside of GNUStep and macOS you won't have any frameworks - not even NSString.

    You're not alone. Unlike C++, Obj-C was a reasonable OO extension to C. It's a shame the language never received more love. Qt, GTK, even Microsoft's MFC would have been perfect candidates for the language. Instead they all reinvented message passing [2][3] in their own incompatible ways.
