Eto.Forms

Eto.Forms is a cross platform desktop user interface framework. This framework is built so that you can target multiple platforms with one UI codebase. The goal of this framework is to expose a common API that can be used to build functional applications that run across platforms using their native toolkit. This will make your applications look and work as if it were a native application on all platforms. For advanced scenarios, you can take advantage of each platform's capabilities by wrapping your common UI in a larger application, or even create your own high-level controls with a custom implementations per platform. This framework currently supports creating Desktop applications that work across Windows Forms, WPF, MonoMac, MacOS, and GTK#. In order to run your Eto.Forms based application, you must also install one (or more) of the following packages: - Eto.Platform.Wpf - Eto.Platform.Windows - Eto.Platform.Direct2D - Eto.Platform.Gtk - Eto.Platform.Mac64 - Eto.Platform.MacOS To get more information about how to get started, read the wiki: https://github.com/picoe/Eto/wiki
