GNOME Widgets

GNOME provides a rich set of widgets for applications to use in addition to those provided by GTK+. These widgets provides a higher level of user interaction then the GTK+ ones, and enforce a bit more policy then

GnomeApp
This is the primary GNOME widget. This is the top-level widget that most GNOME apps use. It handles creating the title bar, menus, toolbars and statusbars.

GnomeMDI
The MDI architecture allows a user to manage multiple documents in a easy fashion. It is different from the classic MDI style that embeds a window in a window, but rather allows the user to "rip out" notebook tabs.

Dialog Boxes
GNOME provides functions to generate all types of dialog boxes.

Property Dialogs
The Property Dialog is used in applications to set its settings. It handles the signals and presentation in a convenient manner.

Druids
Druids provide a consistent way to walk users through several stages of a configuration process. It fulfills a role "Wizards" play in the windows world.

zvt term
A complete terminal emulator in a widget.
