Something like this is what we need:

https://github.com/andlabs/libui

Unfortunately it's a one man band. The author has done great work but it has little support. IMHO it's the only sane UI effort for desktop in the world.

There's a few native widget abstraction libraries.

* Libui is newer, and uses C

* wxWidgets is relatively ancient, and is written in C++

* Qt is sort of in the same ballpark, but relies on platform themes rather than native widgets
