Question

Looking for a C++ GUI library in which you can design fancy GUIs (like for games), something in which you can make something beautiful (rounded buttons with rollover effects, embed beautiful background graphics, cool and colorful scrollbars and progress bars, etc.)

It needs to be open source & allowed to be used in proprietary software. Should be also cross-platform, and shouldn´t need to be linked to thousands of libraries or days to get the compiler configured to run even for small samples.

I hope I´m not asking too much

I tried CEGUI and I wasn´t convinced — it was tricky and I compiled the samples but they didn´t run on some computers.

QuickGUI seems to need OGRE (tell me if I´m wrong), which I don´t want to learn now.

Navi needs GeckoRuntime, which ist too big for my project!

wxWidgets doesn´t seem to be focused on design but on functionality (tell me if I´m wrong)

Answer 1

Try GTK+ or Qt, although it's more of a framework than a library. Both are widely used GUI toolkits. Hope that helps.

Answer 2

I believe libRocket is designed with game user interfaces in mind.

Its based on HTML/CSS which, in my opinion, is an excellent way to define a user interface.
