About

Mado is an window/framebuffer client for Windows/Mac/Linux.

Based a lot on Gio UI.

Currently, WIP.

Purpose

  • Intended to be a base layer for GUI toolkits and game engines.
  • Transparent window control for various GUI desktops
    • Support for MS-Windows, Mac OS, X11 and Wayland
  • Selectable hardware renderers
    • Support for OpenGL(ES), DirectX 11, Vulkan, Metal, CPU
  • Transparent IME Text input support
  • Provide glfw compatible API (a valid alternative from go-gl/glfw)
  • Reduce cgo programs as much as possible and enable development in Go language

Means

The word 'Mado' is the Japanese word for '窓(まど)' and the meaning is Window.

Motivation

  • I would like to see more GUI toolkits that support CJK Languages, e.g. Japanese.
  • Solve the problem that IME text input is not supported in go-gl/glfw, which is widely used in Go language.

Aims for

  • Achieve the purpose items
  • Development by communities rather than individuals
  • Provision of parts useful for GUI toolkit or game engines development
    • Events, OS Thread Managements, Common Drawing API

Not aims for

  • Completed GUI toolkit and game engine
