The Linux word...
Ok, the Linux word of the day is the Free Pascal Community...
Yeah...
So I (and others??) should fork CudaText and port it to MSEgui and convince Alex to accept the PR....
Like that would ever happen.... :D
Nope... ;D
Yeah... it would be nice if on *nix Lazarus was only dependent on X.org and Wayland back ends...
Would need it's own theming for icons/fonts/colors/cursors/etc... (which would be doable)
That would be good...

Indeed it would be The solution.
Note that after the jump into MSEgui ( yes, I agree, needs some effort) all the wigdgets that are in LCL exist in MSEgui.
So all the methods used in LCL should only be copied.
And because MSEgui is not yet ready for Mac, you will keep the LCL version.
To resume, adapt your code/unit to be able to choose any widgetset you want (LCL or other, like MSEgui).
Sincerely it is not so big work (I have some projects LCL/MSEgui) and it is fun and you may discover hidden things usable for LCL too.

I'll try it out the next time I fire up a SPARC Solaris system.
Be afraid...

I've made progress with dwindows on Android. Since this work has nothing to do with GTK, I've created a new thread in the Android subforum:
