Hi all,

Maybe the title is somehow obscure because U++ IS a library, but what I mean is... I would like some way to compile it into a .lib (MS Visual Studio), a .dll (Windows), a .so (Linux), an .a (mingw), ...

Well, this request comes once a quarter I think Smile

If build some application in release mode, TheIDE will produce libraries for all packages used. Therefore it should be possible to simply pick them in the output directory and use. (But nobody tried so far...)

comparison is a little flawed I think because wx 'looks' better.

If you are using 605 version (latest "stable"), try recent dev version. U++ is now using theming APIs to achieve native look (if that is what you mean by "looks").

But so far I couldn't get it to center on my screen and show above every application.

So I made there this tray-hello-icon program, and doubleclicked the trayicon... The promptok-message prompted below every window! (and I had like 20 open), so I saw it was opened, but it didn't show Smile

Well, TrayIcon is recent addition, there might still be glitches in less frequent scenarios.

If you could post a testcase (single package demonstrating the problem), we might be able to help you (either find a bug in your code or in U++).

EDIT: While I was writing this, you added it Smile

OK, will check soon.

Pretty fast and nifty library I think once I'll get the hang of it, but not entirely mature I guess?

Define mature Smile

It is used for 8 years to develop commercial apps. Of course, newly added stuff like TrayIcon needs time to mature.
