Go bindings for the GTK+ 2 graphical toolkit, letting developers build native desktop GUI applications in Go. It wraps GTK, GDK, and GDK-Pixbuf APIs with partial coverage of widgets and methods.
Use cases
- build a desktop gui application in go
- create cross-platform gtk apps with go
- write a go program with native widgets on linux
- embed images in a go gui app
- port a small gtk tool to go
When to choose
- you need GTK2 bindings specifically for a Go project
- you want a lightweight, cgo-based Go GUI without heavy frameworks
- you maintain or extend an existing go-gtk application
When to avoid
- you need GTK3 or GTK4 features
- you want full widget API coverage - bindings are incomplete
- you prefer a pure-Go GUI toolkit without cgo dependencies
- starting a new project where more actively developed alternatives like Fyne or Gio fit better
