Looks nice, I hope it gets merged, but I'm not holding my breath: - As its notes say, it is still incomplete - The pull's author has stated (in discussion for #30) he doesn't intend to finish it - Plus it's just been sitting unmerged since May - The libui author himself still maintains he doesn't want Qt support and feels it's redundant since Qt exists (which makes me wonder what he feels the point of his own lib is in the first place, since, why use libui when Qt exists and can do native look on everything *including* GTK-based environments?). :( Anyway, I'm glad there's D bindings for this, but I do wish the libui author would change his stance and allow a Qt backend, because that would make this a very attractive lib. *Or* maybe GTK could just add support for Qt themes (without then removing the feature in a point release), but we all know that will never happen :/

Re: Dynamic Bindings to libui (x-platform GUI)
you probably misunderstood my post. ;-) i absolutely don't want to install gtk+3, it's not "native" for my system, no other app is using it. that means "no GNU/Linux support" for me.

Mmmh...it works on linux. You just have to install gtk3-devel (>3.10 is OK) from the official package manager of your distro, then run make in the libui submodule folder. It's even probably the platform where it's the easyer to setup.

I was waiting for it to get out of alpha status. I don't particularly like maintaining bindings to libraries I can' t be sure are going to keep a stable API. Doesn't look like it's been changing too much though. Yeah I know what you mean about stability but thats the reason why I am not using a specific release of libui but simply submodule to the exact version I am compatible with. Also some other libs I am having on my rodadmap do use use any tags/versions ;( like nuklear wich is next on my list: https://github.com/vurtun/nuklear Cheers, Stephan

Seems libui was updated and removed/moved that function: Removed uiControlVerifyDestroy(); that is now part of uiFreeControl() itself. There's no problem when you build libui from the git submodule. Actually I think it's safer to do this because the C shared lib and the bindings are in sync.
