A first look at Leadwerks GUI on Linux

Below you can see LeadwerksGUI running nicely on Ubuntu. Once we get through the window and event code, the GUI code acts exactly the same on Linux and Windows. The behavior of the widgets is reliable and double-buffered rendering makes the appearance perfectly solid. Image loading is not working yet, but you can see the vector graphics are working perfectly.

Leadwerks GUI will provide a smoother user experience on Linux and give us cross-platform UI consistency across all operating systems.

It's using the default system font right now. At this time the rendering is performed with pure X11. Images and fonts are not supported very well in this library, so I might have to redo it in Cairo, but I am going to try and see if I can go with the fewest dependencies possible first.
