Should I port my custom UI toolkit to Wayland or GTK/QT?

Hey All, I have a custom UI toolkit that I initially developed for my music application over 15 years ago. Currently it runs on Windows and OSX, and I'd like to port it to Linux. The main thing I'm trying to decide is whether to port directly to Wayland or to a higher level UI toolkit like GTK o

Current state of Window Decorations

Hey All, What's the current state and/or plans for window decorations with Wayland? I just stumbled on this post , and after reading the comments I've got to say I'm quite shocked that getting a window to appear

Best practices for client side buffer management

Hi All, I'm fairly new to Wayland and Linux GUI programming in general, but doing some experiments to figure out how to integrate it into my custom UI toolkit library and have a couple of questions about client side buffer management. Firstly, this is how I'm allocating the backing memory for cli

Best practices for saving and restoring window layout

Hi All, First post here... I'm looking into porting an existing UI library to Gtk+ and I'm struggling to solve a couple of problems related to window positioning when using Wayland as the backend. I've read through the posts on this list's archive about window positioning and it's clear that a g
