It is certainly possible, but it is recommended that you use Vala. This is the language of choice for developing applications for elementary, and is a very nice and simple language, and more convenient than C++ in many places. I picked it up easily knowing C++ and not Java or C#. See this answer for more information: http://elementaryos.org/support/answers/1464 You can learn Vala from here: https://live.gnome.org/Vala/Tutorial If you still decide to use C++, you're looking for the C++ binding for Gtk, called Gtkmm http://www.gtkmm.org/en/ Regarding the UI of elementary apps, there is a library that extends GTK, called Granite, that is commonly used in elementary applications: http://valadoc.elementaryos.org/Granite/index.htm AFAIK there is currently no easy way to use this from C++ so that might be another reason to use Vala.
