Gtk# is a set of.NET Framework bindings for the GTKgraphical user interface (GUI)toolkit and assortedGNOMElibraries. The library facilitates building graphical GNOME applications usingMono or any other compliantCommon Language Runtime (CLR). Gtk# is an event-driven system like any other modern windowing library where everywidget allows associating handler methods, which get called when certain events occur.[citation needed]
Applications built using Gtk# will run on many platforms includingLinux,Windows andmacOS. The Mono packages for Windows include GTK, Gtk# and a native theme to make applications look like native Windows applications. Starting with Mono 1.9, running Gtk# applications on macOS no longer requires running anX11 server.[17]
Glade Interface Designer can be used with the Glade# bindings to easily design GUI applications. A GUI designer namedStetic is integrated with theMonoDevelopintegrated development environment (IDE).
In addition to support the standard GTK/GNOME stack of development tools, thegtk-dotnet.dll assembly provides a bridge to consume functionality available on the .NET stack. At this point this includes the functionality to use System.Drawing to draw on a widget.[citation needed]
As of September 2020[update], Gtk# support for Gtk3 remains in the preview phase and forked projects, such as GtkSharp, have been founded to provide full Gtk3 support for C# and other CLI languages. The lack of a released version of Gtk# with support for Gtk3 was cited as a reason to remove theBanshee media player in Ubuntu 12.04.[18]
