-Simple GUI for D programming language
+GUI for D programming language, written in D.
+
+* Crossplatform (Win32 and Linux are supported in current version)
+* Mostly inspired by Android UI API
+* Hardware acceleration using OpenGL (when built with USE_OPENGL)
+* Fallback to Win32 API / XCB when OpenGL is not available
+
+Win32 builds
+============
+
+Under windows, uses Win32 API as backend.
+Optionally, may use OpenGL acceleration via DerelictGL3/WGL.
+Uses Win32 API for font rendering.
+Optinally can use FreeType for font rendering.
+
+Linux builds
+============
+
+Uses XCB (X C binding) as backend.
+Uses shared memory images for faster drawing.
+Uses FreeType for font rendering.
+TODO: Use FontConfig to get font list.
+TODO: OpenGL initializes ok, but images not visible on screen. Disabled temporary.
+
+Third party components used:
+* DerelictGL3 - for OpenGL support
+* DerelictFT - FreeType library support under linux and optionally under Windows.
+* DerelictFI - FreeImage library support for decoding of images
