Which GUI toolkit for Rust today.. few questions...
On windows, I'll probably use https://github.com/gabdube/native-windows-gui or https://github.com/microsoft/windows-rs both of them seem pretty solid.

Rust: State of GUI, December 2022 – KAS blog
https://github.com/gabdube/native-windows-gui isn't in the list but is quite a polished option for building Windows specific GUIs.

Good Rust System Tray Library?
My crate native-windows-gui supports tray application, if you only care about Windows. Example: https://github.com/gabdube/native-windows-gui/blob/master/native-windows-gui/examples/system_tray_d.rs

What's everyone working on this week (15/2021)?
Created a small resident windows program that shows a different icon depending on battery level test how easy using windows-rs and native-windows-gui is. Picked this as an easy learning project after seeing Battery Buddy for macOS.

The state of gui libraries in rust?
If you only need to support Windows desktop, then let me shill my crate: native-windows-gui. It's super lightweight and it wraps pretty much all the gui stuff provided by win32. Just note that isn't really customizable look-wise.

Rust GUI framework
There is Iced which is used by system76 in Pop!_OS, Druid [DISCONTINUED], GTK-rs, Relm, Azul and Tauri. Personally I would use Tauri for its speed using the OS's native web render, documentation of use with things such as Sveltekit and the ability to make UI's using JS, CSS and HTML. Tauri similarly to Electron whilst being far faster. But its up to personal preference really. There aren't any solid "go to" options at the moment.

What are the pros/cons of the best GUI options for a cross platform app in Rust?
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

Hey Rustaceans! Got a question? Ask here (4/2023)!
Relm (GTK)
-
is makeing Vulkan guis worth it?
Relm, Slint (formerly SixtyFPS), Druid and Iced are all very promising idiomatic GUI toolkits with a great deal of community activity around them, and all of those perform substantially better in the accessibility department than ImGui and egui, to my knowledge. areweguiyet.com can give you some more pointers as well.

The state of Rust GUI libraries
To use relm, you need to add the gtk and relm libraries to your project's dependencies in your Cargo.toml file. You’ll also need to have the gtk library installed.

A declarative desktop UI framework for Rust built on GTK and GTK-rs
No , not really a lot of the time people are trying to tackle problems that have taken years to solve in other languages which isn’t easy and is why you see stuff abandoned. This project is also pretty similar to [relm](https://github.com/antoyo/relm) which is an active project.

egui or iced or druid?
The [older gtk3 version of relm](https://github.com/antoyo/relm) has 2.1k stars. Relm4 is uses gtk4 which is newer.

Any good resources for using Rust with GTK4 and Libadwaita?
