What GUI toolkit does Valve use for Steam?


What GUI toolkit does Valve use for Steam? Is it Qt? I am interested in using the same toolkit for a project.


Solution

  • According to Valve itself:

    "VGUI is Valve's proprietary Graphical User Interface. All Source and Steam applications use VGUI to draw windows, dialogs and menus. It also handles localization: the displaying of text in the user's preferred language. "

    That's interesting, maybe if you guys do some research you can have it working in your programming language. I'll download the SDK to see if I can make it work with Java :)
