Hi, beeing a novice in X programming, I have the question, which programming language, toolkit, widget set or whatsoever should I use to program a fancy user interface based on X with the least effort necessary? What I want is to create a user interface maybe like that on the Macintosh (not the same, just look and feel). I have no restrictions on the programming language or any other tool to use as long as it is available for all hardware platforms (mainly DECStations and Sun). Preferably it should be available free. What I don't want is to care too much about low level stuff. When I call a dialog box with 'yes'- and 'no'-buttons, I just want the user's choice without doing anything but waiting. Maybe the answer is Motif or Open Look which I have heard of, but never seen. Are these real?
