Main features:

• Crossplatform (Win32, OSX, Linux and Android are supported in current version)
• Mostly inspired by Android UI API (layouts, styles, two phase layout, ...)
• Supports highly customizable UI themes and styles
• Supports internationalization
• Hardware acceleration using OpenGL (when built with version USE_OPENGL)
• Fallback to pure Win32 API / SDL / X11 when OpenGL is not available (e.g. opengl dynamic library cannot be loaded)
• Actually it's a port (with major refactoring) of GUI library for cross platform OpenGL based implementation of Cool Reader app project from C++.
• Non thread safe - all UI operations should be preformed in single thread
• Simple 3d engine - allows to embed 3D scenes within GUI

D compiler versions supported

Needs DMD frontend 2.100.2 or newer to build

Win32 builds

• Under windows, uses SDL2 or Win32 API as backend.
• Optionally, may use OpenGL acceleration
• Uses Win32 API for font rendering.
• Optinally can use FreeType for font rendering.
• Executable size for release Win32 API based build is 830K.

Build and run demo app using DUB:

git clone --recursive https://github.com/buggins/dlangui.git
cd dlangui/examples/example1
dub run --build=release

To avoid showing console window add win_app.def file to your package source directory and add line to your dub.json.

win_app.def:

"sourceFiles": ["$PACKAGE_DIR/src/win_app.def"]

dub.json:

"sourceFiles-windows": ["$PACKAGE_DIR/src/win_app.def"],
