Thanks, so now I have only two candidates:
[1] Tharsis (a nice place on Mars)
[2] EpicD (ideological)
I would stick with [2] EpicD.

Seems fitting, given the scope of the endeavour ;-) EpicD though sounds to me more like a language variant like Safe D or Better C, not so much a library. — Bastiaan. |

Well... Having a small experience in GUI programming in other languages (Python, Tcl, C++), I can say that GUI essentially changes the programming style, especially Qt that modifies C++ classes with slots and signals.
Anyway, here is a little experiment with the names:
// Import modules from TharsisUI
import tharsis.application;
import tharsis.widget;
import tharsis.window;
// Import modules from EpicD
import epicd.application;
import epicd.widget;
import epicd.window;
Visually Tharsis is more beautiful.

Drop one 'n':
GUIness
I like that. Potentially evokes goodness and Guinness at the same time for those with the proper frame of mind.

Drag and drop you mean like dragging controls from toolbox to form like Qt/Visual studo?
