Thanks, I have check dlangui, it is not native go window at 
least. The display is poor and the fonts worse. I can even center 
the window on the screen. We notice the designer for a month now 
no reply. Skinning and theming is an issue too.

I want customizable GUI toolkit like JavaFX and adobe spark 
framework in D.

I just can find any. I don't know to link D code with any GUI if 
not I would have gone with JavaFX or adobe spark

Does, it means being a good programmer does not depend on any 
language? Does it imply being comfortable in any language of 
choice and domain of interest?

Thanks for the reply
