I don't like current solutions,\nand I wanna do something about it. While current immediate mode solutions are quite appealing, I'm\nnot really a big fan of them. CrossGui will be a Retained Mode GUI (RmGUI).\n\nCrossGui aims :\n\n- to be completely free for life.\n- to be fast and simple to use\n- to provide custom themeing support\n- to provide a dynamic ui layout mechanism, much like HTML\n- to not compromise on the quality, ever!\n\nCrossGui is under development for now, and it'll take some time to make it usable, and much more to\nmake it stable. CrossGui depends on [CrossWindow](https://github.com/brightprogrammer/CrossWindow)\nthat is also written by me, to achieve cross platform support.\n\n## Build\n\nTo build and install CrossWindow as a library on your system, follow the following steps :\n\n- Create a build directory where you want to build the library. I usually name this as\n  `Build` inside the project root itself.\n- Go inside `Build` directory and open a terminal, or you can follow any other method\n  to go to that directory inside the terminal.\n- Run the following command :\n\n   - If you have Ninja installed on your system, then use it, it's better :\n     `cmake .. -G Ninja -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release`\n   - If you don't have Ninja installed, then we'll just use GNU Make :\n     `cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release`\n\n- The last step will generate build files needed for building the project, and now you can run :\n\n   - `ninja` if you have Ninja installed\n   - `make -j${nproc}` if you have make installed. You can run just `make` as well.\n     The only difference is number of threads provided for building the project.\n\n- The last step will build the project, and now you can run it (for now) using `bin/main`\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fbrightprogrammer%2Fcrossgui","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fbrightprogrammer%2Fcrossgui","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fbrightprogrammer%2Fcrossgui/lists"}
