In Brief

  • Mono can be used in combination with various libraries for designing user interfaces such as Qt# and GTK#.

  • Because of technical reasons, Windows-compliant forms are not supported yet.

  • GTK# is based on the GTK libraries, which are widely used by GNOME developers.

  • Qt# is based on the Qt libraries, which are widely used by KDE developers.

  • Because of a bug in Mono, you have to use mint to run programs containing graphical user interfaces.

  • GTK# and Qt# are separate modules and must be downloaded from the Internet.

  • Both modules can be used with Windows and Unix operating systems.
