Dynamic loading is very much needed for FLUID to allow easy extensions. It is also useful for theme plugins, and maybe even for drop-in-replacements of such controversial dialogs like the file browser. Maybe dynamic linking should be part of the API? Maybe we can add a broader Application support, just like we have optional image library support. >> Or on a much lower level: I want a snappy GUI library to easily write >> apps that look and feel great on every platform. > > I dream of an FLTK2 style api which works like wxWindows. Can you bundle your experiences with wxWidgets for us, so we understand the differences and potential improvements to FLTK?
