I used gtk_drawingareas (or whatever there called) in my exmaple lcp guis (not a recommendation, I know squat about gui programming). The main feature I would want in a specialised plugin gui library would be the ablilty to use pixmaps based controls easily, though that will make usability/consitency/taste fascists unhappy ;) My impression is that is largely what libvstgui offers. - Steve
