* work well on windows
*look native on windows
*support css styling like adobe flex
 spark toolkit and javafx
*Support theming and skinning
*support custom chrome. That is easily
 customizable.
*Integrate well with dlang.
*Has fairly OK tutorials

I will appreciate your help(s)

I am using gtkd and is really nice, but AFAIK it does not have native looking on windows yet

DWT [1] works well in Windows, have a native look and feel but as far as themeing and customization it's a bit limited. It's a port of the Java library SWT, so all tutorials and documentation for SWT applies to DWT as well.

You could look at Delta. It is a bridge between Delphi and D. That means you can design your application visually in Delphi RAD Studio using the great UI toolkit Firemonkey. But every line of code is written in D. It combines the best of 2 worlds. Embarcadero released a community version of Delphi some weeks ago.

Interesting... how well does this work? mind creating a bit more useful example that shows off things? It's nice to have a hello world but the lure is not strong enough for me... Hello worlds generally work but without a more complex example I can only assume that it probably will be a PITA when creating a real app.

The prototypes I created so far, also a complex application, worked well. What definitely is missing, only a small subset of the available Delphi components are wrapped. Creating/enhancing existing wrappers is rather easy (see e.g. https://github.com/andre2007/delta-fmx-10-2-1/blob/master/source/FMX/Memo.d)

I tried to create a Pascal parser which should generate the D wrappers but stopped due to time constraints.

Kind regards
