I'm glad you like it :) There's also 'xmessage', and it requires you to

Libsx is cool --- I started using it almost 20 years ago after looking
around for libs I could use. Qt was rather new and required C++, gtk
seemed even worse than qt, so I found libsx.
Guess what, libsx still works today like it did 20 years ago :)

I guess you could. You can even write pretty large applications with
it. Just be careful with handling different fonts and colours ...
