The GIMP ToolKit (GTK+) is a collection of GUI widgets. GTK+ essentially provides the building blocks from which GUIs can be built. It is highly themable, and its functionality is highly extensible. GTK+-2 is a very stable release, similar only in design to GTK+-1. GTK+-2 can coexist happily alongside GTK+-1, but applications are written for one version or the other.

GTK is a library for creating graphical user interfaces similar to the Motif "look and feel". It is designed to be small and efficient, but still flexible enough to allow the programmer freedom in the interfaces created. GTK allows the programmer to use a variety of standard user interface widgets such as push, radio and check buttons, menus, lists and frames. It also provides several "container" widgets which can be used to control the layout of the user interface elements. GTK provides some unique features. (At least, I know of no other widget library which provides them). For example, a button does not contain a label, it contains a child widget, which in most instances will be a label. However, the child widget can also be a pixmap, image or any combination possible the programmer desires. This flexibility is adhered to throughout the library.

This is a port of FVWM-Crystal. FVWM-Crystal aims to create an easy to use, eye-candy but also powerful desktop environment for Linux or other Unix-like operating systems. It uses following programs: FVWM as a window manager and "main core", ROX-Filer as file manager (manages icons on the desktop), xterm, aterm, mrxvt or urxvt as terminal emulators, MPD or XMMS as music players (there's built-in support for controlling these programs), and several other tools for different functions, like setting a wallpaper or making screen shots.

Bricons program allows the user to quickly start up applications by selecting the appropriate button from the display and pressing the left mouse button. A maximum of up to sixteen main menu buttons can be displayed. Each main menu button can launch an application or pop-up a sub menu containing more buttons. The buttons can be represented as a bitmap, text or a colour icon (i.e Pixmap).
