libnvdialog

A cross-platform dialog library.

libnvdialog is a simple dialog box library written in C (Bindings for Rust also exist) for multiple purposes such as games, app development, simple UI boxes for terminal apps or anything else. If you need something that doesn't require a bunch of setup this library is for you.
If you like this project, support it by recommending it and starring it. Thanks :)

Backends

Adwaita Backend
A backend using libadwaita and Gtk4. Currently unsupported because it requires Gtk4 (see the Gtk3 backend below for more).\
Gtk3 Backend
Some older distributions do not have Adwaita / Gtk4 support yet. The Gtk3 backend can be used in such a situation. However Gtk3 is considered to be deprecated and will be replaced with libadwaita later in the library.
Win32 Backend
Windows-specific backend, used only for Windows compatibility.
Fallback Backend
This backend is only used if everything else fails. It outputs an error message to the console.

Example

This is a simple cross-platform example of a simple message box greeting the user:

#include <nvdialog.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
        /* Initializing the library. */
        nvd_init(argv[0]);

        /* Creating the dialog. */
        nvd_dialog_box_new(
                "Hello, world!",
                "Hello world ! This is a dialog box created using libnvdialog!",
                NVD_DIALOG_SIMPLE
        );
}

Yes, it's that simple ! The library is designed with simplicity in mind so it will not require anything else to work.
