Initially created for the graphics program ["GIMP"], the GIMP Toolkit - abbreviated as GTK+ - is one of the two most popular ["widget toolkit"]s for the ["X Window System"], intended for creating ?graphical user interfaces.
GTK+ and Qt toolkit have supplanted Motif, previously the most widely-used X widget toolkit.
Licensed under the ["GNU Lesser General Public License"], GTK+ is ["free software"] (and ["open source"]) software, and is part of the ["GNU"] Project.
Desktop environments and Window manager that uses GTK
- The GNOME environment uses GTK+ as a base, which means that programs written for GNOME use GTK+ as their toolkit.
- Xfce also uses it as their base, though their apps typically do not depend on as many programs. (This is the difference between something being branded as a "GNOME program" and as a "GTK+ program".)
- The GPE Palmtop Environment and Maemo, Nokia's internet tablet framework, also use GTK+ as a base.
- Fluxbox uses GTK+.
