What can i use for windows or linux native ui that wouls support styling? I've looked at libui, but that doesn't seem to support styling. It doesn't have to be cross platform

[Patrick]

Isn't it possible to just use for example the native win32 api for styling on windows?

[Dominaezzz]

imgui?

[Big Chungus]

@Patrick any examples on how that would look like in kotlin?

[Big Chungus]

@Dominaezzz imgui is for JVM, not native

[Dominaezzz]

It's a C++ library.

https://github.com/kotlin-graphics/imgui kotlin port is JVM

[Patrick]

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/learnwin32/module-3---windows-graphics

[Dominaezzz]

Ah. That one. I'm working on native bindings anyway. Would imgui suit your needs?

[Patrick]

Use the official documentation + K/N C interop and it should work

[Big Chungus]

My only requirement is basic elements such as buttons with styling support

[Big Chungus]

So yes, K/N bindings would be very welcome 😄

[Dominaezzz]

👍🏼 Will post here once it's published.

Can you share the repo for inspectio now? I was looking for some cinterop example anyways 🙂

[Mikołaj Kąkol]

TornadoFX?

[Big Chungus]

@Mikołaj Kąkol also JVM and not native

With all these different attempts to build cinterop into existing libs. Would it be beneficial to document them some where, kotlin awesome, or something similar?
