DUIM is the Dylan User Interface Manager. It is meant to be a cross-platform, portable GUI toolkit. However, it currently only supports Windows.

Improve Windows Support

The current Windows rendering backend looks like Windows 2000.

Use the theming utilities to correctly set up dialogs and widgets so that the colors aren't wrong. See issue 312.
Improve spacing and layout in general for modern displays.

GTK+ Support

Once GTK+ Support is in place, look at reviving the old GTK+ DUIM backend and getting it to work again.

Cocoa Backend

Once Objective-C Bridge is in place, we can look at creating a new DUIM backend based on Cocoa to have a native experience on Mac OS X.

Other Backends

Is it worth bringing back the Motif, Postscript or other backends?
Is it worth writing an OpenGL backend so that DUIM can be used in OpenGL-based applications, like games?
iOS or Android?
