I have to agree with Michael. Even stronger it sometimes take hardly no
effort. If I look at my experience with GEM on the old ataris. Making a new
layout is just starting you gui designer (Resource Editor) create a new
.rsc file with other menu layout and if need be other dialog layout and
loading it into the app. But.. alas GTK isn't GEM...
