Make the GTK interface optional. #9

Without kubuntu 20.04 the gtk2 dependencies are heavy, somewhere around 350 mb, it would be nice to be able to install only the command line version, and be able to use it with a shortcut or just via the terminal itself.

Hey Luizoti,

I really need to update the sources. You should not need this utility in kubuntu 20.04/ubuntu 20.04 or I believe a Ubuntu based distro version 18 or later and most other recent linux distributions - say the last 3-4 years! I think the only popular (or somewhat popular) distribution that is still actively supported and actually needs this is Centos 7 and I am actually working on an update for that.

An author/contributor of libinput (the input library code for Xorg/Wayland) fixed this a few years ago and most recent distributions have this code incorporated!

Nonetheless I wrote a major update for this utility that uses works with Gtk3 or Qt5 almost a year ago, just haven't got around to thoroughly testing it, but it's 99% done. I will add a build option to just build the binary.

By the way, I think your profile pic is really cool. Now if I had to pick one that looked like me it would just be a dorky generic fat white guy with chubby checks and brown hair. Hahahaha!

Have a good day and let me know if it works without this utility.

Warm Regards,

Paul F. Richards

At the moment I'm using Linux Lite 5.4 x86_64, Kernel 5.12.0-19.3-liquorix-amd6, in fact I didn't notice any problem with Sculpt ergonomic confort, but at the time I posted this issue I was on Kubuntu 20.04 and there was still need to use this utility.

haha thanks, we're not that different, you're not an idiot man, what nonsense.

I think this image from the movie Django Livre is really cool, I use it everywhere. Thank you very much for this utility.
