About

Mado is an window/framebuffer client for Windows/Mac/Linux.

Based a lot on Gio UI.

Currently, WIP.

Purpose

Intended to be a base layer for GUI toolkits and game engines.
Transparent window control for various GUI desktops
- Support for MS-Windows, Mac OS, X11 and Wayland
Selectable hardware renderers
- Support for OpenGL(ES), DirectX 11, Vulkan, Metal, CPU
Transparent IME Text input support
Provide glfw compatible API (a valid alternative from go-gl/glfw)
Reduce cgo programs as much as possible and enable development in Go language

The word 'Mado' is the Japanese word for '窓(まど)' and the meaning is Window.

I would like to see more GUI toolkits that support CJK Languages, e.g. Japanese.
Solve the problem that IME text input is not supported in go-gl/glfw, which is widely used in Go language.

Achieve the purpose items
Development by communities rather than individuals
Provision of parts useful for GUI toolkit or game engines development
- Events, OS Thread Managements, Common Drawing API
