GUI Independence Status

The current status is the support of Qt frontend only. Below you can find the state of support in previous versions of LyX. xforms frontend was dropped, Gtk has no active maintainer.

The following is a matrix indicating which things still need porting to which GUIs. It does not include the "main window" itself and associated classes, other than the toolbar and menubar. The GUII framework itself is now essentially complete, as is the Qt frontend.

Key

Value	Meaning
Clear	Nobody is currently working on this.

In progress	The dialog has been committed, but is still under development. Functionality may still be incomplete, and any port may require major re-working.
Completed	The dialog is in the CVS repository, and there are no known significant problems. Future work may happen but is likely to be of minimal impact.
