Winforms for Mono on Mac, Linux, and PC (Redux)

Question

(I asked this question differently and got some interesting answers, but I'm not too convinced.)

Is Mono GtkSharp really cross-platform? Gnome seems to be based ... how can it work with PC and Mac?

Can someone give me examples of a working Mac / PC / Linux application written with the same code base in Microsoft.Net?

Answer 1

Plastic SCM is supported on Windows, Linux, Solaris, and Mac OS X. The link includes screenshots on Windows and Linux.

Answer 2

Understand that this is an old question now, but Banshee is suitable for invoice for a cross-platform application that uses GTK #. It works on Max, Linux, and Windows. http://banshee.fm/download/

Answer 3

The best example of a Gtk # application that runs on both Windows and Linux is Medsphere OpenVista. Of course, this is not an application that many people need to run, but it is a very professional, polished open source Gtk # application. It shows how you can write a professional Gtk # application.

Answer 4

Gtk # is a cross platform. However, the only platform where it looks good is Linux / BSD, working with GNOME. If possible, separate the interface and the backend and create separate user interfaces for Linux, Windows and OS X. Even wx, which does an excellent job on all three platforms, has its limits.

A working Mac / PC / Linux application on Gtk #? I think Tomboy works on all three.

Answer 5

It would be more correct to say that GNOME is GTK-based than to say that GTK is based on GNOME. GTK is the GNOME toolkit at the top, and you can get GTK for several platforms, including Windows. What GIMP works on Windows: First you install GTK.
