Graphical User Interface Puns

In my book about Linux, it says the X Windows system is a graphical user interface, and that each distribution comes with that, in addition to one or more graphical desktops, giving the examples of GNOME and KDE Plasma.

I download the "https://protonvpn.com/download/protonvpn-stable-release_1.0.1-1_all.deb" and seems like there is no GUI at all.

Hello there

This might sound like a dumb doubt, honestly I don't know how I haven't figured this out yet.

How the fuck are Graphical User Interfaces made? Do programmers actually sit and code in the dimensions of different widgets onto the screen, painstakingly compile the code to see every small change they've made?

Am I using the wrong language to make these? I've been using Python with Tkinter and lord is it a pain in the ass to make something that actually looks good.

What are the right languages to make EXEs with an easy to make graphical user interface? I thought it would be something quick and easy, like how Clickteam Fusion 2.5 does it, but I haven't been able to find anything similar to it other than Android Studio, which at least gives a real time view of how everything looks like.

How are all these apps like, Chrome and Zoom and Photoshop made into reality? What programming languages do they use to achieve the Graphical User Interface? What techniques do they use to reach there?

What am I doing wrong? What can I do to improve from here?

Hi, maybe this link will be interesting:

I am a completely new to this topic. Previously I used a QT-designer for GUI development. Which application would you suggest for development of a modern macOS and Windows application?

Hi everyone, I'm a mexican computer engineering student so I have the curiosity but not the knowledge for asking this question so I hope you understand and sorry for my english too.

I want to know how a widget library renders it's widgets if in embedded systems there are no libraries like opengl or cairo (even though I don't really know how they work) there neither is a windowing system like x window system in linux. Does GUI libraries for embedded systems use their own render pipeline and windowing system? how would it be if there isn’t an operating system?

Hello! I'm a university design student currently conducting research on inclusivity and accessibility in GUI design for users with colorblindness. I will be studying how certain design choices such as choice of color and contrast, layout, visual hierarchy, and navigation in a digital interface can affect those with color blindness. It would be of great help for me to collect research on this topic for my studies.

To those with colourblindness who often browse through digital media, I would greatly appreciate it if you would participate in this online survey which would take approximately 5 minutes to complete :)

Thank you!

Take the survey here!

I'm currently looking at graphs with roughly 100 nodes. I use python and networkx to visualize and create the graphs. I feel like the graphs are too small to automate their creation but at the same time it's really annoying having to write down every single edge.

Is there some program that has a GUI which allows me to draw the graph directly (So that I can click on a button to create vertices and use my mouse to connect them) and optimally use it directly with networkx?

I also have a Matlab and Mathematica license and I could probably get other programs through my university if anyone has had good experiences with these applications.

Hi devs, I am a CS student but I am not too knowledgeable in web development. Please ignore the post if silly. I will now describe what I would like to program.

I would like to develop an application for the simulation and visualization a complex algorithm which works on graphs (nodes + edges). Specifically, the application should comprise step back/forward buttons, which rewind and reply the simulation and update the view of the graph.

The application features more advanced functionalities. For example, it lets the user adjust some settings (such as heuristics) of the algorithm; it provides charts displaying useful information of the data, which update as the simulation progresses, and so on.

To summarize, the visualization of the data and the interaction will be done in the browser. I am aware of d3.js as a library for visualizing data (example here).

Although I want to keep the data visualization part in the browser, I want to put the core logic of the algorithm separately, thus in a backend. The reasons of this are multiple:

• The backend should allow users to save their simulation, and let them retrieve and continue it later.
• Although the graph (and the way it evolves) correctly reflects the way the algorithm works, it does not reflect the actual data structures in use, which are completely different.
• The algorithm should be fast, and I might want to learn and use Rust as a challenge.

Let go through an example:

1. The user clicks "step". The frontend will ask the backend to progress the simulation.
2. The backend runs a step of the algorithm and computes what is necessary. The backend tells the frontend how to update the view. Think about "Add a new node with ID 3 and draw edges from already existing nodes 1 and 2 to it".
3. The frontend receives these instructions and does what is required, updating d3's graph. Moreover, it updates the charts.
4. The user clicks a button of the UI which asks the backend to change the behavior of the algorithm. The backend responds OK. The UI unlocks some new buttons which were not previously possible.
5. The user clicks Run and the simulation starts playing, without requiring the user to step through it. I think Websockets should be employed there: it does not make sense for the frontend to open a new connection to the backend for every step, it can reuse the same one. Alternatively, the backend pushes the updates to the frontend.
6. The user pauses

Hi all. I need a very simple graphical user interface for a microcontroller. I'm not an expert in this field, so your suggestion is needed.

I found touchgfx, emwin etc. But they are not very light and have lots of features I don't need. Little vgl library is also overkill I think. (but I may be wrong).

My requirement is, buttons, text, and slider. Also, it will be great if the functions are simple to use.

Thank you in advance.

I know why PCs use GUI that is interactive for personal usage but for the sake of making a complete el5 question for others, I've included it.

How do I get a working graphical user interface on ish?
