You're running Xfwm4 under WSL. As far as I can tell, Xfwm4 only acts as X11 window manager (and compositor), but not as wayland compositor. That means Slint will try to connect via GLX, which also doesn't work (I suppose that part is WSL related).

At the moment WSL only works with software rendering or Wayland, but not GLX.

However, Slint should fall back to software rendering if the GLX setup fails. That seems like a bug to me.

Meanwhile, does it work if you set the SLINT_BACKEND environment variable to the value winit-software?

2907 should have fixed this, but apparently this isn't working under WSL.

the renderer-winit-software feature wasn't enabled by default in the last release (1.1.1). But it will be in the next release (1.2).

Thanks, that explains it. @zrz4066 then your workaround is to edit Cargo.toml and change the line that says

slint = "1.0"

to read

slint = { version = "1.0", features = ["renderer-winit-software"] }

and this will not be needed anymore in the next release.
