I find that a lot of libraries tend to be Linux-focused and generally kind of ugly on Windows, so what do you use when you want to make something that looks nice and performs well on Windows?

The best looking ones I’ve seen were web frontends like in Tauri. A runner up would maybe be iced-rs. Which is a shame because I really wanted to use relm or fltk-rs but it looks like I’d almost have to use the web renderer to get “sleek, sexy” GUIs…

    Wasn’t Iced basically a one man show before system 76 started using it for their desktop environment and made huge contributions to it?

    No. And what they contribute, they contribute to their own fork.

    They do, however, help the ecosystem with crates like cosmic-text.

    I think for now your best bet is probably…

    Their best bet was to ask around (done) and filter out the waffle. They already got a good specific actionable answer out of it.
