...[other GUIs besides PUI
Well, I don't think that replacing PUI has a high priority.
Thats probably right.
I doesn't look that bad (but doesn't mirror the OS style). And it get's
drawn by OpenGL with a low overhead.
So we should improve the underlaying functionality first, bevore we
consider exchanging PUI.
I see it as an opportunity for me to step in, because GUI code should be
fairly trivial, i.e. independent of domain knowledge.
...[multiple fg guis]...
This sounds like unlimited resources where you can afford the luxurity
to code a GNOME, as Qt, a Windows, a MacOS, a [...] interface...
This was just the vision. The actual steps to get there might differ :-)
But these toolkits provide more or less the same functionality, so translating
the FG GUI to any one of them should be straight forward. I can help out with
QT, maybe there are others who can do that for a GTK based solution, etc.
A Qt only interface sounds good - but Qt isn't free for Windows (you'll
only get an 30 day evaluation copy IIRC), so we can't use it :(
That's the point why I opt for having multiple GUI implementations. I can't
use the native Windows solution here on Linux, with QT it's the other way
round. Most of the cross platform available toolkits are either ugly or hard
to develop with. Going for an own GUI toolkit for plib is even more
demanding.
So giving the user a choice is probably the best way to go, i.e. using a
QT-based one on Linux, a native Windows GUI on Windows, no GUI at all in a
real simulator setting.
Think I'll try to prototype something this weekend.
