That should work too.  I just used the first thing I could manage to get working, which was Derelict's GLFW.

I don't think I'll be done anytime soon, it might be complete around the time D 1.0 is released.

I think I have slightly different design goals for my GUI, the number one for me being that it is meant for users of my 2D game library.

I'd recommend that you keep on working on yours, and we can share code/ideas as necessary, and learn what works well and what doesn't work well for OpenGL based GUI libraries.

PS: I made a previous reply to this NG, but it got lost? Hrm...

Sure, is there someplace I can get GLD while dsource remains down?

While dsource is down, you can get it at http://www.baysmith.com/d/gld-2.zip

Looks like to get schooner to compile you need implib.exe, which I found here:
   http://ftp.digitalmars.com/bup.zip

You might want to mention that in the readme or on the dsource page.

Just checked in a new GLD input adapter for Luigi.  Works like a charm.

The hardest part was figuring out how to compile gld given that all the paths where it expects to find things are embedded in a D source file. And it needs implib.exe, which I had to go looking for.

Once I had GLD compiled then it was just a matter of s/glfw/gld/g on all the working GLFW code.

So Luigi now supports GLD.

Luigi also now has working
 * buttons
 * textfields
 * checkboxes
 * sliders

And you can see on the screenshots page that there's a snazzy texture-based theme in the works (texture currently borrowed from the DirectX utility toolkit). I've only implemented buttons for that so far.

Thanks for pointing that out. I forgot that implib.exe was not part of the standard DMD distribution. I'll update the documentation, and create binary distributions.
