GTKWindowForms first release soon...

["Murat Sari" <murat_sari gmx at>]

GtkWindowForms is lib for View-Layouting through gtk+/c++. 
My motivation was to write a system similar to wxAUI for gtk+ to make gtk+ 
more popular cause it lacks in this region. 

Features: + Floating/docking Views 
          + Define ur own Views(through Factory pattern) 
          + Save/Load View Layouts(through adapter pattern) 
          + Move Views freely around 
          + Split behaviour like in adobe premier. 
          + Written in c++ 

The lib is also tested under linux and works well. 

Currently Status: 
The lib is now almost stable, there are projects for MSVC7/8 and Automake
files for it. 

Future Work. 
Port to gtkMM. 
Make a version that is written in c only. 

Documentation: 
Currently well documented header files(doxygen way) but a tutorial will
came. 

I hope i can share this projected with other peoples to make gtk+ more
attractive.
