Masonry 0.1 (Rust GUI framework)
i was gonna bring up https://github.com/redox-os/orbtk only to discover it's no longer under active development.

[Media] A GUI installer for redox is coming soon, written in iced!
OrbTk is sunsetting in favor of Iced, slint, and future renderer-agnostic toolkits: https://github.com/redox-os/orbtk

GTK and custom themes - what really happened
That said, I'm not totally convinced about SixtyFPS today. There are some other interesting options that are suitable GUI toolkits for Rust. Such as OrbTk and Iced. Each toolkit is approaching the GUI space in a different way, so it'll be interesting to see where we end up in a few more years. QML-esque SixtyFPS, ECS-based OrbTk, Elm-based Iced, and a few others out there.

Pop should join this new GTK fork
What's written in this article isn't the development of a GTK fork, but some reasoning for exploring alternatives to GTK. There aren't very many suitable candidates in this space, but Rust GUI toolkits like Iced have potential. Personally, I would add that OrbTk is also a suitable candidate.

Any stable crate to develop a cross-platform Rust desktop app?
I use orbtk, it is pretty easy to use, has an active dev team, works on windows mac and linux, and cross compiling from linux to windows is also easy with it. It is still pretty beta, but depending on the project you need it could work. (https://github.com/redox-os/orbtk)

Cross platform native guis in rust
Orbtk is an option. The default is backend is orbraq, which uses OrbClient. OrbClient will use SDL on Linux, and on Redox it should be a "pure" rust experience.

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.

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.

Can you make GOOD LOOKING GUI in Rust?
Maybe... would you consider this showcase to be good looking? But if you're looking for more eye candy UI, nothing come close to using a html/css with a browser based framework like Tauri.

What crates for a simple Windows app?
Assuming by "nw-gui" you mean native-windows-gui, that is by far the most user- and dev-friendly GUI library available for Rust as far as I know.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing orbtk and Native Windows GUI you can also consider the following projects:
Termion - Mirror of https://gitlab.redox-os.org/redox-os/termion
gtk - DEPRECATED, use https://github.com/gtk-rs/gtk3-rs repository instead!
Azul - Desktop GUI Framework
tauri - Build smaller, faster, and more secure desktop applications with a web frontend.
imgui-rs - Rust bindings for Dear ImGui
iced - A cross-platform GUI library for Rust, inspired by Elm
egui - egui: an easy-to-use immediate mode GUI in Rust that runs on both web and native
conrod - An easy-to-use, 2D GUI library written entirely in Rust.
druid - A data-first Rust-native UI design toolkit.
rustbox - Rust implementation of the termbox library
