If you want to write a portable GUI from scratch, the only thing you need is the stylish frame, colors, fonts & menus. You then need to implement the ability to draw some rectangles portably and the Qt library does that already, you can take a look here (qt.../src/kernel/qpaintdevice_x11.cpp): http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/q/qt-x11-free/qt-x11-free_3.1.1.orig.tar.gz Everybody knows Windows GDI so there's nothing to hide... -- Philippe A.
