BabyX has got a facelift for version 0.2.
Baby X is a C "baby" toolkit for X windows. It's designed to be just what
you need to get a C program with a GUI up and running, without dependencies
on third party libraries.
I decided that it just wasn't possible to get nice GUI elements using native X fonts. So now the BBX_Label element uses Vera, which is a free font.
That meant a total rewrite, though the API remains similar. Most of the widgets
are now composite widgets, so they are BBX_Panels underneath. You then attach
a pointer to the panel and hang the subcontrols off it.
Everything could be built on top of panels and canvas elements, but I'd need to
abstract away the X keyboard and mouse handling. Then Baby X could be retargeted
to another platform quite easily.
I've also added spinners and a listbox.
It's now on Sourceforge.
