What is GTK+
============

GTK+ is a multi-platform toolkit for creating graphical user
interfaces. Offering a complete set of widgets, GTK+ is
suitable for projects ranging from small one-off tools to
complete application suites.

GTK+ has been designed from the ground up to support a range
of languages, not only C/C++. Using GTK+ from languages such
as Perl and Python (especially in combination with the Glade
GUI builder) provides an effective method of rapid application
development.

GTK+ is free software and part of the GNU Project. However,
the licensing terms for GTK+, the GNU LGPL, allow it to be
used by all developers, including those developing proprietary
software, without any license fees or royalties. GTK+ is the
only 100% free-of-cost open source industrial-strength GUI
toolkit available today.

Since its origins as the toolkit for the GNU Image
Manipulation Program (GIMP), GTK+ has been used in a wide
range of software. Notably, GTK+ is the foundation of the
GNOME desktop.

Major new features include:

* Menu support in GtkApplication
在GtkApplication中支持目录

- Scroll events can contain scroll deltas,
   obtainable via gdk_event_get_scroll_deltas()
- Scroll direction for such events is GDK_SCROLL_SMOOTH
- To receive scroll events, widgets must now
   set either GDK_SCROLL_MASK or GDK_SMOOTH_SCROLL_MASK
增加平滑滚动

  with touch devices
GtkScrolledWindow可以在触摸设备上动态滚动

  Windows are expected in the near future
这是第一个能很好工作在Windows平台的Gtk+3版本。
不久将会有官方编译版本的GTK+ 3.4.0发布。

  current Wayland API, and the backend is much more
  complete now, with support for resize grips, grabs,
  geometry and window type hints, clipboard and
