Hi Paul,

I'm working on replacing the FlashKit sounds and Mayang textures.
Thanks for the heads up on this.

C-evo does not use GTK2 directly, but via the Lazarus widgetset.
Other possibilities for the future are QT5, GTK3 & fpgui.
Right now, the only viable option for C-evo is GTK2.
I'll add GTK3 to the build (QT5 already there) so its available for when its finished in Lazarus.
With full support for the other widgetsets in Lazarus, C-evo should only need a rebuild to use them.


Regards,
Peter
