VisualWX Alternatives
VisualWX is described as 'Visualwx aims to be the ultimate RAD tool, designed for c++, python, perl, ruby, lua and wxWidgets. Still there are many things to do, but we've achieved considerable progress' and is an app in the development category. There are more than 10 alternatives to VisualWX for Linux, Windows, Mac, Bloodshed Dev-C++ and Code::Blocks. The best alternative is Glade, which is both free and Open Source. Other great apps like VisualWX are Zenity, Yad, easybashgui and wxFormBuilder.
- Glade is a RAD (Rapid Application Development) tool to enable quick & easy development of user interfaces for the GTK+ toolkit.

- Yad (yet another dialog) is a fork of Zenity with many improvements, such as custom buttons, additional dialogs, pop-up menu in notification icon and more. It's useful for creating quick and easy GUIs for shell and batch scripting.
- Bash functions library for *BSD and GNU/Linux that aims to give simple GUI functions using yad, gtkdialog, kdialog, zenity, Xdialog, (c)dialog, whiptail or bash builtins depending on KDE or GNOME running or not, Yad/Gtkdialog/Xdialog installed or not and, eventually, X...No screenshots yet
- wxWidgets is an excellent framework that enables the creation of multi-platform applications with and without a graphical user interface.
- kdialog allows you to display dialog boxes from shell scripts. The syntax is very much inspired from the "dialog" command (which shows text mode dialogs).

- wxDev-C++ is an extension of Bloodshed Dev-C++ by Colin Laplace et. al. This program helps you to create dialogs and frames for wxWidgets visually using a form designer.
