libfoXdesktop

If you're looking for a solid core library to build your foXdesktop application on, you can't go wrong with libfoXdesktop. It's the backbone of all foXdesktop applications and provides additional classes, icons, and registry entries to FOX (the widget set used by foXdesktop).

While there are certain standards that all foXdesktop applications should adhere to, some details may not be explicitly outlined. For a good example, take a look at foXman. Additionally, each foXdesktop application relies on GNU automake/autoconf (although this is currently undocumented).

One key advantage of using libfoXdesktop is the inclusion of FDApp, which replaces FXApp and allows for easily invoking a program's help and using icon files instead of hardcoded icons (details below). If your application includes a preferences dialogue, it's recommended to make it a foXdesktop component so it appears in foXcontrol too.

Overall, libfoXdesktop is a solid choice for building your foXdesktop application and provides helpful features and standards to ensure a smooth user experience.
