Stable and native looking GUI tool for Go?
Fyne is just really ugly for me.. I'm trying to learn more about GIO lately (gioui.org) which seems to have a great potential. However you request is very simple: native Windows Gui. And there are few libraries for that: - https://github.com/gonutz/wui - https://github.com/lxn/walk - https://github.com/tadvi/winc - https://github.com/rodrigocfd/windigo

Golang GUI?
My experience with gui in golang is pretty bad. I took a project which used https://github.com/lxn/walk , and unfortunately the library doesn't have a good documentation. So I had to figure out a whole lot of things by looking into example snippets or via hit and trial. Moreover, it's platform specific. So yeah wasn't a good deal. By the way, if you are thinking of targetting cross-platform then some HTML based GUI library would be much better choice.

What are some frameworks/libraries lacking from Go?
Look at https://github.com/lxn/walk. While it offers a cgo optimization for the event loop, I don’t believe it’s required.

Systray is not showing icon.
I am using github.com/getlantern/systray to show menu in the windows tray in my Wails app. It works fine during development and shows icon but in production it throws this error:
-
Toolkit-agnostic system tray in Go (based on getlantern, using DBus for Linux)
thank you. i already saw it and merged it with my local temporary fork. in getlanterns repo is a windows-only PR for left click (WM_LBUTTONUP) - that and middle click (WM_MBUTTONUP) could be added together with the sni versions.

Is there is good GUI for Golang ?
Just gonna give a shout out for https://github.com/getlantern/systray which I use in one of my projects. Tested on Windows and Linux Mint, works great.

Yet another way to convert a website (with backend) to desktop app
I use systray to show web server in Notification Area.

CLI for Windows with Go
Of course, already exists that library for using Notification Area. getlantern/systray
