Not sure what "everything" means, but whatever it means, it was pretty close to everything. For the most part Gtk# + Stetic has been a pleasure to work with. There are some additional widgets, that work well with Stetic, available at <http://code.google.com/p/holly-gtk-widgets/>. Those are certainly worth checking out. Medsphere provides four additional widgets <http://medsphere.org/projects/widgets/>, while they don't work with Stetic (you have to manage them manually), they are very useful in some cases. All-in-all, I've no problems with Stetic, except the inability to move a widget and it's design from one assembly in a solution to another. You can do it manually with a little bit of care. It is best to put any composite widgets / windows / forms that you might want to reuse in their own assembly and then add that assembly to your application. Stetic will pick them up just fine. Gtk# is very nice. Downsides of Gtk#: 1.) The documentation is a bit lacking. Passable but not great. 2.) The availability of third-party widgets is pretty much limited to the above. For example (a big deal to me) is that there is no calendar (day/week/month) widgets - although there are Gtk# apps that have such widgets. I suppose I just need to take the time to plunder them. :) It would be good if more Gtk# developers made more of their UI stuff re-usable. 3.) The TreeView. ([EMAIL PROTECTED]&@#(*&@#(* I hate that thing. The TreeView is an amazingly powerful widget whose documentation is akin to a pile of fresh steaming turd. NodeView is a nice improvement, except it is greatly diminished in power (no sorting, etc... of course, that assumes one can get TreeView to sort...) > Adam Tauno Williams wrote: > > That is odd, I've been working on one GUI > > project <http://code.google.com/p/consonance/> in Monodevelop for at > > least a couple of years.
