Inquiry: porting a Krypton-based app to Linux

pconstrictor commented 6 years ago

What would be involved in getting a Krypton-based application running under Linux?

I'm a UI designer for a WinForms application that has a Linux port based on Mono's WinForms. It uses an MDI which we'd like to replace with panes. One of our Windows developers thought Krypton could work well to give the Windows app a tabbed UI and the ability to undock tabs into their own windows.

However, would porting such an app to Linux be at all feasible? I suspect this could help:

Enable as many Krypton features as possible "just work" in both places (e.g. where OS-specific calls can be avoided or Linux has comparable calls available).
Clearly identify which Krypton features will/won't work on Linux, so we can avoid the latter.

You could try, I don't know how difficult it would be, as it's built on the winform API.
