quickdesktop is high level gtk based library to create desktop
applications. With few configurations and simple plugin files in
text format, it is possible to create a desktop application.

A typical desktop application consists of a tool frame with 
menubar and/or commandbar with a working space below. Typical
user input components like string/numeric input , boolean, radio,
dropbox, file choosing etc. are required. 

quickdesktop supports creation of menus/commandbar and a 
customizable toolframe using plugin files. These plugin files
are in human readable format. It also supports typical user 
interface creation using various parameters to control them.
