                       Crossplatform widgetset for SDL

                      Version 0.7.2 (Development / BETA)


http://www.bms-austria.com/projects/paragui


This library is a high-level crossplatform application framework and GUI
library. It is completely based on the Simple DirectMedia Layer (SDL).
It can be compiled on various platforms (Linux, Win32, BeOS, MacOS, ...)
ParaGUI is targeted on crossplatform multimedia applications and
embedded devices operating on framebuffer displays.


Highlights of the library:

  * published under LGPL 

  * straight forward C++ class-design (see the API documentation) 

  * XML configuration of the new style engine 

  * asynchronous messagehandling (messageposts between objects) 

  * multithreaded 

  * support for non-modal overlapping widgets
    (windows inside of ParaGUI)

  * highly customizable widgets
    (background gradients, background images, transparency, colors, fonts) 

  * many standard widgets already implemented
    (buttons, labels, scrollbars, progressbars, windows ...) 

  * create your own widgets
    (subclass an existing widget) 

  * you can help us to make the library even better


This library is distributed under GNU LGPL version 2, which can be
found in the file "COPYING".
