ZWL is a software library that provides a set of widgets for building graphical user interfaces.
The Zeta Desktop Environment (ZDE) is a powerful X11 window manager that comes equipped with a bevy of tools aimed at advanced users and developers. This software comes with a collection of sub-projects, which include imp, zwl, and zimwm, focused on specific functionalities.
Imp is a library of core functions such as linked lists, while zwl is a simple widget toolkit and light X11 wrapper. To compile zwl, users will need the latest version of imp from svn. However, it's worth noting that this code is still in the alpha stage and has not been polished yet. As a result, it may have rough, pointy edges that should be approached cautiously with an open mind.
Zwl is specifically designed to be simple, yet visually pleasing and user-friendly. Unlike general-purpose application toolkits like GTK+, Qt, or EWL, it's not intended to be a one-size-fits-all solution. Instead, it will be used in applications like zimwm for menus, frames, buttons, and similar purposes. Further, zwl provides selectable rendering outputs for displaying images, such as Xlib or Imlib2. It also includes some special-purpose widgets like sliders, which users can use to extend zimwm and other small programs that need a limited subset of general-purpose widgets.
The software contains various directories that users can browse through for documentation, source code, and test programs. For instance, the src/ directory contains the zwl source code, while the tests/ directory provides users with a test program. Finally, doc/ contains documentation that users can generate from the source code using gendoc. It's worth noting that users will need doxygen to generate the documentation.
To use ZDE, users will need to have Zeta Desktop Environment installed on their system. The latest release of this software comes with major bug fixes, making it even more reliable and user-friendly.
