With 2.0 GtkD will wrap Gtk+ version 3, if you need Gtk+ 2 you can use

Very nice.

Also big kudos for you Mike, for maintaining this project, that 
is the only one, fully working solution for GUI applications with 
D


Anyways, for those who wonder how will Gtk3 apps look at Windows:

Looks promising, but a couple comments from Alex have me concerned:

"Classic mode is unfortunately not supported yet. It will need another
CSS file."

"Also, =E2=80=9Cnot really like windows=E2=80=9D is not really a good descr=
iption. In
the course of tweaking the theme I looked at a lot of apps and widgets
in win32, and I there really is no singular =E2=80=9Cwindows=E2=80=9D look.=
 Even among
the standard apps that ships with windows there are multiple looks for
almost all widgets except the trivial ones (buttons, etc). Its really
busted."

Sounds like they're still merely trying to imitate the proper
look & feel? I thought I had heard that GTK was finally going native
with v3?

As far as i know the custom windows theming engine is deprecated in 
favor of the css solution.

Is that css solution still *a* theming engine, or am I misunderstanding
it? Or I guess what I really mean is, does GTK3 at least have some way
to say "just use native"? Because I had thought I heard GTK3 was
supposed to be able to do that. I may have misunderstood though, I
don't know.

There are some css extensions to access the windows theming API, but i 
don't know how far that go's.

Btw for win32 users, GTK_BASEPATH needs to be set to wherever you've
installed the runtime bundle (e.g. C:\Program Files\GTKRuntime-3.4.2).
Don't let it install with the +- in the path because of an optlink
bug: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=8791

Also, this C:\Program Files\%gtkdir%\bin needs to be in PATH before
everything else, because apparently the wrong DLLs get loaded
otherwise. I don't understand what GTK_BASEPATH is for if it's not
used properly.

Normally GtkD searches for the dll in the default locations ( See Also: 
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms682586(VS.85).aspx ), witch 
includes any directory listed in the PATH environment variable.

The GTK_BASEPATH environment variable can be used to override this, when 
set GtkD searches for the dlls in that directory, and only that directory.

So GTK_BASEPATH doesn't need to be set but when is it set, it does need 
to point to the correct location, some old Gtk+ 2.x installers used to 
set the GTK_BASEPATH variable.

Only with theming though, classic mode is not supported (yet).

It does have some visual bugs. Text overflows buttons, the menu text
isn't displayed properly (it needs to have inverted foreground when
selected), checkboxes flash blue in the background when selected,
spinbuttons aren't properly themed (they say it's on purpose), the
file chooser is still GTK and the text input boxes don't seem to
follow system settings when it comes to blink rate.

Most of these are fixable I guess. Except the file picker which
probably won't be replaced, but might be replaceable with system calls
in custom user classes.

Anyway it's not too shabby. It's great that we have a multiplatform
library that's up to date. Thanks GtkD devs!

The GtkD README gives the distinct impression that DSSS is the only way
of building GtkD and any projects using it.  However, according to its
own webpage, DSSS is a Dv1 system that cannot work with Dv2, which I
guess indicates either a system with little future or a lack of
maintenance of webpages.

Certainly it ought to be feasible to create a C, C++, Fortran, D build
system using D that could be far superior to Make, CMake, Autotools. As
noted on the DSSS page integration with a unified package management
system is a USP. Go has shown that this works very well by integrating
GitHub, BitBucket and Launchpad as repositories, rather than using a
special one a la CTAN, CPAN, Gems.

Current I tend to build C, C++, Fortran, D using SCons or Waf, but if a
reinvigorated and Dv2 compatible DSSS can compete and work with
repositories on GitHub, BitBucket and Launchpad rather than just it's
own repository, I am happy to make use of it. Alternatively if there is
a description of how to build GtkD that doesn't involve installing DSSS
I am happy to write a SCons build.=20

Thanks.

Wow, really? That's both amazing and worrying. We seem to have a lot

Nice to see a GTK3 gtkd release!
Also nice to see GTK Builder support. Is there a gtk builder example
which shows how to connect signals? I guess connectSignalsFull should
work, but it's a little cumbersome. Will connectSignals work?

(I'd check this, but the github download isn't working)

BTW: Will we get nicer documentation?

connectSignals should work, one problem with both connectSignals and 
connectSignalsFull is that the functions need to be extern(C) and the 
parameters are the bare C Gtk structs and not the GtkD classes.

I've reuploaded the file, it seems to be working now.

I have no idea how these signals work in Gtk but should it be possible 
to create a template mixin that wraps a D method. The template would 
mixin an static extern(C) method that converts the Gtk structs to GtkD 
classes. I assume there's some way to pass an extra data parameter to a 
signal, this could contain an instance of a class.

Compiling and executing from GtkD root directory.

Now "GtkD.lib" is generated, and properly compiles gtkd programs:
$ wine dmd.exe -L C:/D/dmd2/windows/lib/GtkD.lib HelloWorld.d

BTW. What's the right way to add "-L C:/D/dmd2/windows/lib/GtkD.lib" to
"sc.ini" file?

If you put that library in that folder there's a good change it will
end up missing when installing/reinstalling DMD. Put it somewhere
outside and use the -L+ switch when invoking DMD:

dmd -L+C:\path\to\gtkdlib\ GtkD.lib app.d
