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?

The GUI won't be too complicated, but maintaining two mostly-seperate versions would be kind of a pain... We'd be talking complexity on the order of the LiveJournal web client -- so, y'know, big but not all that complicated.

wxWidgets is apparently just a rename of wxWindows. So it's basically the same thing. Yeah, it looks like a pain for that reason among others.

I actually have barely used MFC before, but I was distinctly unimpressed. In any case, this'll all be written from scratch unless I find something similar to base it off. I'm not optimistic about finding such a thing.
