    Most Forth user interested in gui us win32forth.

    I am interested in gui applications in linux,
    especially in gforth.
    Any examples?

    External GTK GUI builder tool with embedded Forth
    to handle callback functions: https://www.forth.org/svfig/kk/01-2018-Harbold.pdf

    There is also Minos ... (never used it)

    Hi,
    Some time ago I decided to use a webserver and HTML/SVG as my GUI.
    It was not hard to port the GUI part to Win32Forth/Gforth/Cforth.
    See https://github.com/Jos-Ven/A-smart-home-in-Forth for Gforth under
    Linux
    Or https://github.com/Jos-Ven/Cforth-apps-esp32/tree/main/rgb_ledstrip
    for Cforth on a ESP32.
    The same GUI can also be used on a ESP8266
    Under Cforth see: https://github.com/Jos-Ven/cforth/blob/master/src/app/esp32-extra/tools/extra.fth
    for the used non standard words.

    Jos.

    This is another tool. Also your remarks hangs in the air.
    This is usenet. An answer is useless unless the question is
    known.

    An anecdote. In the 80's there was a Dutch initiative basicode to
    distribute application on cassette tape. We made a Forth cassette tape
    and we couldn't find applications to fill it, only tools.
    To make it at least moderately interesting, Kees Moerman ported
    a basic game that required not too much graphics, four in a row.

    The sparsity of Forth applications is note worthy. Everybody
    is building tools, or argue whether (bye) is worth standardizing,
    adding "recognizers" to Forth's.

    The words of prof Ting comes to mind, th 4 characters that end
    "foot step in an empty valley".

    Windows: CCS Candy application

    Linux: Micross Automation TrackNet

    MacOS: Music applications from Bruno Degazio, Roelf Toxopeus and others.

    See the MPE website. Note that GTK can be used as a cross platform GUI interface from Forth, albeit with a few deviations from the default OS look. Another potential technique is to use HTML5 and websockets.
