Qt? Although it has its own problems, the end product is often way better than Electron.
It may have changed since I last gave it a shot previously one annoyance I had with Qt was binary distribution. Getting it all packaged up correctly for each platform is much less than straightforward and if your app isn’t FOSS it’s exacerbated by LGPL linking requirements. It should really be a simple, single button process.
There is no LGPL linking requirements if you buy Qt commercial license.

Electron also has LGPL dependencies (Blink, FFMPEG) and libui depends on GTK which is also under LGPL so...
There is also gtkmm
Not sure why I've been downvoted. What is wrong with gtkmm? It's a reasonable C++ binding to GTK+
Ironically this library is small, easy to compile, written in C++ with a C interface, and unbelievably slow. Try out the test.exe and watch everything slow to a crawl. It is worse than Atom about the speed of the slowest modern program I've ever seen - the ethereum wallet.
I assume you are using the Windows version. The slowness is a bug that I have to fix; there are several issues about it, and a few ideas of how to fix it. You can comment out some code in container.cpp if you want to have it go fast but also be ugly (the code has to do with transparency of standard controls on tabbed backgrounds).
Oops, if it wasn't container.cpp it was parent.cpp; I forget which file right now
