## Development status

Glade is not being actively developed or maintained anymore. 

If you are interested in becoming a maintainer please contact us on gitlab. 

## General Information

Glade is a RAD tool to enable quick and easy development of user interfaces

for the GTK+ 3 toolkit and the GNOME desktop environment. 

The user interfaces designed in Glade are saved as XML and these can be loaded

by applications dynamically as needed by using GtkBuilder or used directly to

define a new GtkWidget derived object class using Gtk+ new template feature.

By using GtkBuilder, Glade XML files can be used in numerous programming 

languages including C, C++, C#, Vala, Java, Perl, Python, and others. 

This version of Glade targets GTK 3

If you need to work with GTK 2, you can still use Glade 3.8

([more information](http://blogs.gnome.org/tvb/2011/01/15/the-glade-dl/))
