[QUESTION] MainWindow or ApplicationWindow?

[rempas]

I'm very new to Gtk and GtkD and I'm trying to learn it. In the gtkDcoding the examples (at least the first ones) using the "MainWindow" class to create applications. The demos in the repo here use the "ApplicationWindow". Which one should I use and why?

In new code it's best to use ApplicationWindow, it's the only one of the two that is available in gtk4 so it makes porting in the future easier.

Thanks a lot! Is there a small case that you are familiar with the " gtkDcoding" and you know other things that should change as well?

[MikeWey]

gtkDcoding uses Main.init / Mail.run instead of using gtk.Application, but that go's hand in hand with gtk.ApplicationWindow.

Other that that i am not to familiar with the code used by gtkDcoding.
