Which framework/toolkit for modern unity applications?

rated 0 times [ 3] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 1201 / 2 Years ago, wed, march 23, 2022, 12:01:39

I want to code some applications for ubuntu (no other platforms), but which gui-toolkit would be the "official" one... in the past (gnome) gtk+ was my choice, but afaik unity uses Nux. I don't want to use these standard buttons and "old style ui". Qt would be great for KDE but what's the latest "unity" toolkit suggestion?

ps: programming language would be C/C++ or python.

You don't need to use any specific toolkit to interface with Unity, all of it's APIs are available via GObject Introspection. This means you can use them with multiple languages and multiple toolkits. You are free to use Gtk or Qt, C/C++ or Python, or any other combination of language and toolkit you prefer.

You can see the Unity APIs here: http://developer.ubuntu.com/resources/platform/api/12-04/
