Im working on cross platform UI library based on Prophecy SDK by
Twilight3D Oy. http://www.twilight3d.com
This is SDK created for game programming proposes but have very good
structure, a lot of classes (this is best C++ code i ever seen!).
The SDK have codecs for all major bitmap formats, support for zip
files and more.
It have support win32, osx, linux platforms but plug-in specific
require some work since it created for game proposes - what i doing now
actually.
Moreover, its 100% free for any usage. The only disadvantage is lack
of any documentation but the code structure is so clear so you can
understand anything easy.
They are making version 2 that would be even better for plug-in
proposes.
You welcome to check this out.
