DWT [1] works well in Windows, have a native look and feel but as far as 
themeing and customization it's a bit limited. It's a port of the Java 
library SWT, so all tutorials and documentation for SWT applies to DWT 
as well.

You could look at Delta. It is a bridge between Delphi and D. 
That means you can design your application visually in Delphi RAD 
Studio using the great UI toolkit Firemonkey. But every line of 
code is written in D. It combines the best of 2 worlds. 
Embarcadero released a community version of Delphi some weeks ago.

Interesting... how well does this work? mind creating a bit more 
useful example that shows off things? It's nice to have a hello 
world but the lure is not strong enough for me... Hello worlds 
generally work but without a more complex example I can only 
assume that it probably will be a PITA when creating a real app.

The prototypes I created so far, also a complex application, 
worked well. What definitely is missing, only a small subset of 
the available Delphi components are wrapped. Creating/enhancing 
existing wrappers is rather easy (see e.g. 
https://github.com/andre2007/delta-fmx-10-2-1/blob/master/source/FMX/Memo.d)

I tried to create a Pascal parser which should generate the D 
wrappers but stopped due to time constraints.
