I know Windows is a lost cause, but Unix apps don't have to be ugly like that ;-)

And even Windows can use GTK.

I am working on v3.0 that will use its own portable GUI toolkit (in assembly language) with much prettier UI. On this page you can see some preliminary experimental screenshots: https://fresh.flatassembler.net/index.cgi?page=content/artic...

Still not GTK though. It is too heavy for assembly language programming and will not allow portability for example on MenuetOS or KolibriOS assembly written OSes.

That's pretty impressive.

Nice improvement! The screenshots have much nicer font rendering (and a better font, for that matter). The fact that it uses more than the 16 colours that were available in Windows 3.1 helps a lot too.

That looks cool as hell!
