How do you expect to put anything on the screen or read the mouse,
keyboard etc without eventually using a native toolkit :)
XWT is very cool, not 100% working for me yet but a very good start.

XWT is still a set of bindings. It calls native code / GUI toolkits

I guess there is just not enough money / motivation behind having a
fully-managed GUI toolkit. On the other hand, Mono WinForms is one,
technically.

There is this one that is being developed https://github.com/mono/xwt
and will be the foundation of MonoDevelop in the future from what I
understand.

Why there's no any cross-platform GUI toolkit that's written natively
in C#? I'm tired of using bindings. Is it possible to develop a C# GUI
toolkit that's OpenGL accelerated (like WPF and Clutter),
cross-platform (like wxWidgets and Qt) and uses native widgets in
different desktop environment? Then GTK+, Qt etc. will be used as low
level components.

The most recent bit of news I've read about GTK# 3:

GTK 3 was released 10 Feb 2011. That's a long time ago.
During that time .net bindings have failed to eventuate. Information on
what has been happening has been very hard to find, despite a large
number
of .net applications on linux using these bindings.
As the author of an opensource application dependent on these bindings
I
find this lack of information very concerning. And I'm starting to ask
myself questions like, Am I now dependent of a dead or dieing library?
Banshee was removed from the default ubuntu install, officially because
of
lack of GTK 3 support.
I have the following questions:
Where is the source code for GTK 3 support?
As far as I can establish the GTK sharp code is hosted here:
https://github.com/mono/gtk-sharp<https://github.com/mono/gtk-sharp/branches>
However there is no branch in there labelled as GTK3
Who supports GTK sharp?
If it is community maintained, who are the main contributors?
Is there a projected or planned release date for GTK 3 support?
Developers dependent on GTK sharp need this information in order to
plan
the future of there applications.
If GTK sharp is really dying then application developers dependent on
it
need to know, so they can either contribute to it or move there
applications on to something else.
If the bindings are struggling, how come there has been no call
for contributors, or at least transparent information about what is
going
on. Rather then the current back whole of information.
Recently ubuntu held an app competition, it was hugely successful and
while
it was on people where asking questions like this:
http://askubuntu.com/questions/154373/use-primary-toolbar-with-mono
And all we could do was advice that they use another language.
If we lose GTK# bindings where does that leave mono on desktop linux?
We
have no QT bindings, no clutter bindings and no GTK# 3 bindings. in
sort
we
have no bindings available (by that I mean packaged in debian or
similar)
for the latest version of any native linux GUI tool kit.
I'm going to say this again, mono developers cannot use the latest
version
of any native linux GUI tool kit.
Now maybe the GTK# bindings are alive and well and are about to issue a
release. However if that is true then the developers have a lot of room
for
improvement with there communications.
Sincerely,
Daniel Hughes
