The API is designed such that hosts do not +need to explicitly support specific toolkits at all - if Suil supports +a particular toolkit, then UIs in that toolkit will work in all hosts +that use Suil automatically. + +Suil currently supports every combination of Gtk 2, Qt 4, and X11, e.g. with +Suil a Gtk program can embed a Qt plugin UI without depending on Qt, +and a Qt program can embed a Gtk plugin UI without depending on Gtk. +On Windows, embedding native UIs in Gtk is also supported. +I (David Robillard) would be happy to work with plugin authors +to add support for new toolkits, please contact me if you're interested +in writing a plugin UI using a toolkit that is not yet +supported in the LV2 ecosystem. + +WWW: http://drobilla.net/software/suil/ |
