Create a gui for linux.

[krish_kumar]

Hiii... I wanna create a Gui like windows operating system for Linux. The latest Linux versions are user friendly .But I want to do this as a mini project just for practice. So my aim is a simple gui for Linux. And there are so many gui development tools like gtk, Kdevelopr, Qt/...etc. Which one I've to select , which one is better for my need. Presently I use Fedora 11. Wait for a reply... thanking you KRISHThumbs Down

Qt would be a nice tool for GUI development. Qt has both paid and open source versions. Qt source code is protable (if coded carefully) to other operating systems like Windows and Mac as well. http://qt.nokia.com/products[^]

I'll second Qt - Qt's nice. And you've got QtCreator, which is a nice Qt-centric IDE.

Java, Basic, who cares - it's all a bunch of tree-hugging hippy cr*p CodeProject MVP for 2010 - who'd'a thunk it!

Ok.... in Qt we program in C++...at any time , if I wanna attach any C- codes, whether it makes any complication or not.Actually I know something about qt, I've created small GUI's like small dialog widgets and all.. So according to you continue with qt is best.!!! Anyway thank you. Krishna:rose:

I think you can reuse you C code in Qt without much problems. Give it a try.

if you write a qt GUI publish it at Codeproject. :-O

Just in case you have doubts about QT... I would definitely recommend QT! :) Regarding development tools, KDevelop[^] is an IDE supporting Qt, GTK and wxWidgets. But I usually stick with Eclipse[^] for most part of C++ development. Hope this helps.

I'll recommend QT. It's surprising how nobody else mentioned it. ;)

Let us hope somebody would recommend 'qt' as well :-D

I'd leave it to others. :)

Just to be contrary, I use wxWidgets. :cool: It's free, open source, and cross platform.
