you probably misunderstood my post. ;-) i absolutely don't want to install gtk+3, it's not "native" for my system, no other app is using it. that means "no GNU/Linux support" for me.

Yea, I spotted that. Looks nice, I hope it gets merged, but I'm not holding my breath:

- As its notes say, it is still incomplete

- The pull's author has stated (in discussion for #30) he doesn't intend to finish it

- Plus it's just been sitting unmerged since May

- The libui author himself still maintains he doesn't want Qt support and feels it's redundant since Qt exists (which makes me wonder what he feels the point of his own lib is in the first place, since, why use libui when Qt exists and can do native look&feel on everything *including* GTK-based environments?). :(

Anyway, I'm glad there's D bindings for this, but I do wish the libui author would change his stance and allow a Qt backend, because that would make this a very attractive lib.

*Or* maybe GTK could just add support for Qt themes (without then removing the feature in a point release), but we all know that will never happen :/

Hi, I'm on Arch Linux (64-bit). `dub --config=test` gives me the following error: (Please be noted that I have libui installed in my system already)
