Nice that you were looking at FLTK and I agree that your reasoning around the choice of the toolkit (ruling out FLTK for LXxx) is sound. > If you want to work on an FLTK-based DE, EDE is a good starting point. > http://equinox-project.org/ > It's really light and fast, but I don't like the Windows 95 look & feel. > It will be nice if you can join them and help the development. > That will be cool. Indeed having alternatives is good and thanks for the suggestion. Their project apparently made a lot of progress since I checked last time. Hope this will also contribute to improvements in FLTK. For people using mutt, dillo and alike the "footprint pollution" from the applications which use heavier toolkits may be non-existing. For such users the footprint of the DE itself makes a big difference. EDE certainly helps filling that niche, which LXQt does not have to.
