You know, #FLTK has been good to me. I have a couple actually "complete" projects with FLTK.
I just don't reach for it now that I'm targeting phones.
I actually told a friend last week, "Hey, open this on a laptop or desktop, it won't make any sense on a little phone screen" and she got her tablet out.
People are being born and dying without ever knowing real human-computer interfaces. Mice and keyboards relegated to a curiosity.
It would be fine if they didn't need it, but ... 🧵
F3D 3.4.1 just released!
F3D is a fast and minimalist 3D viewer/renderer which support many formats (gltf, usd, fbx, abc) and tons of options!
In 3.4.1 we improved ⚗️ Alembic support (xForm and Curves support) and shipped 🇨 C bindings!
We also have dozen of examples usage of the libf3d, including C, Java, Qt, QML, FLTK and so on!
Please check it out!
@thomasadam Not thrilled that a lot of the #GUI libraries are dropping #X11 support. I prefer cross platform options and dropping one backend means less portability to environments. I'm switching my own desktop to more lightweight GUI options like #FLTK and #SDL. At least those support X11 for now. #pdcurses also supports X11 via SDL.

Lagging a few posts for Haiku/haikuports, fltk updated to 1.4.4. :)
(4/7) #FLTK has a lot of the features of standard #GUI libraries but still manages to be lightweight with few dependencies. It's been used with #nano-x to create #XFDOS and #nanolinux. #TinyCore also features FLTK applications. FLTK applications even work on handheld and mobile devices. Here's a list of FLTK programs: https://www.fltk.org/links.php?LC+P22+Q While some are designed for older versions of FLTK, I've had no trouble updating many of them to later versions of the library.
Here's a list of some of the more lightweight #graphics editors for low resource computers and editors that work well for younger age groups:

For me, the best theme combination in fltk-theme for fltk-rs is Aqua widget scheme and Dark color scheme. But the accent color is red (?!) and the buttons are rendered with the background color, making them invisible by default. You have to set the color of every button,which makes no sense to me. I am so tempted to fork it and create my own theme… #fltk #rust
fltk-rs is nice. Small binary footprint and few dependencies, easy to use, does not force a single programming pattern for your application, easy to compile for Linux, Mac and Win. But boy... It's ugly... The default themes and color palettes are from the times of Windows 95 and Motif #fltk #rust
Well this has been an interesting Journey :P
So uh my first C++11 GUI Program using FLTK is finally finished (minus documentation for WIndows and some minor Makefile Stuff)
https://codeberg.org/Retro-Hax/sm64extendGUIPlusPlus
If anyone wants to check it out then uh here yall go :D
#cpp #cpp11 #fltk #programming #gpl #foss
welp after 2 weeks of non stop Programming (with a few exceptions :P)
I only gotta fix 2 (maybe 3) more Bugs and then i can call v1.0 finished :D
But im honestly so exhausted right now that im just gonna play some Video Games now XD
#cpp #programming #fltk #relax #videogames
#codestudy https://www.fltk.org/doc-1.3/editor.html, in case I could figure out which package has #FLTK.h ...
So as i havent really posted much i basically decided to update once again :P
So uh sm64extendGUI is basically atleast "Frontend" wise done :P
like i am pretty much happy with how it looks ^^
Now i just gotta finish the actual Button Callbacks as rn they dont do anything outside if existing :P
So uh yea while i do not really like doing this if you wanna support me for some reason then uh take a look over here :P

Today I learned there's a library for making FLTK programs with Rust. Here are some demos:
After around almost 8 Months i am hopefully soon gonna finally have my first GUI Program finished :P
This is a C++03 Crossplatform Version inspired by a Windows C# GUI Program that hasnt been updated since 8 years now :P
Currently all thats missing is like the Buttons as well as the Custom Setup Settings >.>
Still happy tho with how far i was able to programm this GUI App XD
My really dumb "categorization" UI that basically just makes my filesystem a mess of symbolic links.
Written in C in FLTK (FLTK is a C++ library but I didn't use classes or anything so i basically just compiled C in a C++ compiler). It launches way faster than the GTK3 C version I used to use, and still faster than the Python GTK3 program I used before that. It was also easier to write and has a better file chooser interface. #FLTK
@lproven @theregister Iron Man, you have written a great article, I liked it a lot, to hear from this good, old toolkit. Thought that it was already dead, but it has survived all the years! So now one could test how XPP looks in HiDPI (and should it be renamed to WPP then?).
I have added a comment to your article as a reminder to the good old times with #FLTK
Thank you very much!
