zenity VS iup-go

I created github.com/ncruces/zenity and I'd welcome ports to either D-Bus Portal or KDialog.

I've used the windows version pretty extensively in github.com/ncruces/zenity to generate this.

You can see it in… “action” in some of my repos: - github.com/ncruces/go-strftime - github.com/ncruces/go-sqlite3 - github.com/ncruces/zenity

Const errors are totally doable. https://dave.cheney.net/2016/04/07/constant-errors https://github.com/ncruces/zenity/blob/master/internal/zenutil/env.go

If you use a non-native GUI, you can still leverage native dialog windows via https://github.com/ncruces/zenity

To add a calendar dialog to github.com/ncruces/zenity, I needed a strftime implementation in pure Go.

github.com/ncruces/zenity

I've been working on a "port" of it to macOS and Windows, that doesn't require X. It also works on WSL (as well as Cygwin/MSYS2 and Git for Windows). It's on GitHub: github.com/ncruces/zenity.

Started out with just the file and message dialogs, but a lot more of zenity has been wrapped/ported, current status: here.

For years I had Qt experience in Python and C++. But I found it too heavy to introduce in a Go project. After trying a couple different options (I'm not a web dev) I actually really liked IUP. https://github.com/gen2brain/iup-go

You can check the screenshot from Windows 10 here https://github.com/gen2brain/iup-go/blob/main/examples/sampl.... If you are not using the manifest it will not follow the system appearance and will always look like Windows XP Classic.

I've tried a few different Go gui solutions so far. Coming from a C++/Python Qt background, I wanted to use Qt bindings but found them to be a bit too heavy as a dependency in Go. And I'm not a skilled web dev so some of the other options didn't suit me well enough. But I did actually enjoy using this in a recent project: https://github.com/gen2brain/iup-go

For native controls check https://github.com/gen2brain/iup-go.

That depends on your requirements. I'm currently using IUP for a desktop app (Linux and WIndows). Caveats:

For native UI, you can check https://github.com/gen2brain/iup-go. There are 50+ examples to help you, i.e. show images, buttons, file dialogs, etc.

If I may, https://github.com/gen2brain/iup-go: Cross-platform UI library with native controls.

You can check https://github.com/gen2brain/iup-go. The Cocoa backend is still not finished but it works for basic UI. There is GLCanvas for Linux and Windows.

I recently created a Go binding here https://github.com/gen2brain/iup-go and was amazed how simple API is, thanks to their attribute system. Although they have some controls that are custom, everything else is native. Compared to Qt or wxWidgets, IUP is just a UI toolkit, Qt/wxWidgets is much more than just a UI toolkit.
