FLTK, CTK, or Qt

[sjehuda]

GTK+ appears to be worsen over time.

• It requires more resources to operate.
• It deprecates API without backward compatibility.
• Version 5 does not support X11.

This article was fond of Salix OS until GTK+3.

This article complains about GTK+ policies.

Generally, I think that GTK+ is better because it does support C in a native fashion, unlike Qt which does not support C.

Due to the arbitrary changes of GTK+, that risk earlier obsoleteness of software, I suggest to consider FLTK.

I did suggest this to Liferea as well.

Yet, because aMule appears to be written in C++, then Qt might be a viable choice.

or aMule can be migrated to ctk:

https://github.com/cafe-desktop/ctk

it is a gtk3 fork

it is used by CAFE desktop (MATE desktop fork):

This is interesting!

Thank you for sharing @sc0w. I have updated the title.

On another project, I have suggested to utilize UXP, provided that it is applicable.

P.S. ZenWalk was one of my of Linux distributions.
