Yea, I spotted that. Looks nice, I hope it gets merged, but I'm not 
holding my breath:

- As its notes say, it is still incomplete

- The pull's author has stated (in discussion for #30) he doesn't intend 
to finish it

- Plus it's just been sitting unmerged since May

- The libui author himself still maintains he doesn't want Qt support 
and feels it's redundant since Qt exists (which makes me wonder what he 
feels the point of his own lib is in the first place, since, why use 
libui when Qt exists and can do native look&feel on everything 
*including* GTK-based environments?). :(

Anyway, I'm glad there's D bindings for this, but I do wish the libui 
author would change his stance and allow a Qt backend, because that 
would make this a very attractive lib.

*Or* maybe GTK could just add support for Qt themes (without then 
removing the feature in a point release), but we all know that will 
never happen :/
