# gtk-kt
GTK bindings for Kotlin via DSL
Testing compatible GTK Version: `4.4.1`
**NOTE** It is suggested to look at [gtk-kn](https://gitlab.com/gtk-kn/gtk-kn) a possible successor project.
## Usage
See [example](example/src/nativeMain/kotlin/Main.kt) for a simple example on how to create an
application using this library
## Progress
Check out the [status](src/gtk/class-progress.ods) of the wrapping GTK
## Installation
