Announcing flowerd (it is several things)

[bobef]

Sorry guys. I will provide more info, examples, etc with time. I just don't have the time to do it all right now. I am sharing the code because I think it is usable. Just to make one thing clear. HTMLayout !is Harmonia . It is not a GUI library. It is an HTML renderer. It renders HTML and CSS (and some SVG too). So it allows you to do everything you see on the web. Visual effects and everything (this is why I showed webcreme). If you need to do some forms, controls, etc you can do it too... It is very well designed so it is also usable as GUI library. And it is very easy to do complex layouts with HTML by hand, unlike any standard GUI library, and then it is very easy to control everything from D... Sorry I don't have the time right now for examples and stuff, but if you are interested take a deeper look at HTMLayout's website. It provides all the info you need. Plus, if you are going to use the wrapper, you need to familiarize with HTMLayout first, so it is a very good starting point. If you have questions and need any specific info - ask in the flowerd forum. I will try to help.
