It is designed to be small and efficient, but -still flexible enough to allow the programmer freedom in the interfaces -created. GTK allows the programmer to use a variety of standard user -interface widgets such as push, radio and check buttons, menus, lists -and frames. It also provides several "container" widgets which can be -used to control the layout of the user interface elements. +The GIMP ToolKit (GTK+) is a collection of GUI widgets. GTK+ +essentially provides the building blocks from which GUIs can be +built. It is highly themable, and its functionality is highly +extensible. - GTK provides some unique features. (At least, I know of no other -widget library which provides them). For example, a button does not -contain a label, it contains a child widget, which in most instances -will be a label. However, the child widget can also be a pixmap, image -or any combination possible the programmer desires. This flexibility is -adhered to throughout the library. - -GTK+-2.0 is a stable release, but many applications still require -GTK+-1.2, the previous stable version. You can have the runtime and -development environments for both GTK+-2.0 and GTK+-1.2 installed -simultaneously on your computer. +GTK+-2 is a very stable release, similar only in design to GTK+-1. +GTK+-2 can coexist happily alongside GTK+-1, but applications are +written for one version or the other.
