Zune (or some other UI toolkit)

rams · 19 August 2013, 00:57

So I'd like to dapple in Amiga C coding now and then (on my current OS v. 3.0) and would like to use some ready UI toolkit if possible. Now, MUI and ClassAct are probably very fine products, but hell will freeze over few times until I pay some 20-40 bucks just to be able to fool around once in a while.

So I heard of Zune. And I have two questions: Is Zune AROS only? and Are there any other decent FREE UI toolkits that I can use in Amiga OS 3.0?

Apparently I have been spoiled by Qt.

MUI38 is the standard for 3.1. GUI. Zune is the opensource reimplementation and AROS (68k) only. MUI38 is free of charge.

I thought that MUI is shareware with limited free trial?

The trial version only limits some settings in the preferences window. Applications work perfectly without a key. Development material is free.

Well I guess I'll have a look at MUI once again. Last time was some 20 years ago.

When I first explored GTK+ programming my first thought was "Apparently I have been spoiled by MUI"!

So true. It has been years since I last had a look at GTK+ but I do remember the early API docs.
