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 projects to complete application suites. GTK+ 3.0 is a major new version of GTK+, containing many changes :
GDK no longer wraps the antiquated X11 drawing API; but only exclusively relies on cairo for all our drawing needs now. Several other X11-centric concepts such as GCs, colormaps and pixmaps has been removed as well.
Modern input device handling: The input device handling in GDK has long been a sadly neglected area. This has changed; with 3.0, GTK+ steps into the modern world of XI2 with full support for multiple pointers, keyboards and other gizmos.
A new theming API which sports a familiar CSS syntax for theme configuration and other improvements such as animated state transitions.
