(Design suggestion) Replace GTK by a Rust GUI toolkit #1745

Closed hardBSDk closed 1 month ago

hardBSDk commented 1 month ago

I recommend egui or Iced.

Keavon commented 1 month ago

Thanks for the suggestion, but we don't use GTK either. We use the web at the moment, and will soon support desktop apps through Tauri.

@Keavon The documentation say that GTK3 is needed, it's outdated.

I'm not familiar with Linux ecosystem dependencies but that is one of the required dependencies, I'm not sure what for though.

@Keavon Probably a dependency of some crate (search for gtk in the dependency chain), the Ruffle emulator use GTK3 to show the GUI file picker.

@hardBSDk GTK is a dependency of tauri https://github.com/tauri-apps/tauri/blob/dev/core/tauri/Cargo.toml#L85.

There is no need to upgrade immediately as GTK3 is actively maintained https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/commits/gtk-3-24 - but if you are interested in contributing to the tauri see https://github.com/tauri-apps/tauri/issues/7335.
