Suggest a good widget toolkit to devlop GUI. I’ve worked with QT, GTK+ and X11, wikipedia shows a lot, is there anything better than than qt? To work with multi touch computing. I cannot start from the scratch with X11, and gtk is tough, QT is easier, but is there anyother toolkits like gtk or frameworks like qt to server better?
I’d suggest you to use the richest possible GUI framework. This way you will eliminate lots of unnecessary code and reuse existing functionalities.
If you’ll take above into consideration, you’ll have two options (dropping GTK because of complexity as you say, and bunch of other less maintained and less popular toolkits):
I’ve worked with both and both share somewhat similar concepts, but IMHO Qt is better documented, better maintained, and is used by far more developers than WxWidgets, plus it have more sophisticated tools like QtCreator, etc.
On the other hand I like that WxWidgets has manual programming approach, where you’re practically forced to build the GUI from code.
One very important thing to mention:
