More geeking...

I'm looking at writing some simple cross-platform GUI stuff, probably in C. Well, probably in C++ since all the decent cross-platform GUI libraries seem to require it.

Other than FLTK (which looks pretty good) and GTK+ (which sorta works on Windows, but it's not clear how well), anybody got any recommendations for a toolkit that will do (at a minimum) Linux and most common Windows flavors?

Sadly, it never worked on Windows. :-)

I actually gave up on Spiral when I found glib (part of the underpinnings of GNOME). As it turns out, they'd already done essentially everything I was doing with Spiral, and they maintained it without any effort on my part.

Sadly, GTK+ isn't very portable to Windows. There's a port, but it's apparently quite quirky, and it's way out of date.
