This is also the reason why I started on a GLut/OpenGL backend for fpGUI. In
the last weeks it has reached a point that some examples already work
perfectly. Also I have done some preliminary tests on Mac and Linux (primary
developing on Win32) which indicate it should run there without any issues.
What still needs to be done it to analyze why certain widgets are not drawn
correctly (fixing the backend and some subtle bugs in the core lib), fixing
font drawing (which seems to have some major issues) and finally cleaning
everything up.
I'm doing the development work on:
svn://scandraid.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/scandraid/src/branches/fpgui/
