Initially created for the graphics program the GIMP, the GIMP Toolkit — abbreviated as GTK+ — is one of the two most popular widget toolkits for the X Window System, intended for creating graphical user interfaces. GTK+ and Qt have supplanted Motif, previously the most widely-used X widget toolkit.
Licensed under the LGPL, GTK+ is free (and open source) software, and is part of the GNU Project.
GTK+ uses the C programming language, although its designers use an object-oriented paradigm. The GNOME platform bindings provide for C++, PerlImage:Programming-republic-of-perl. gif|right|framed|Programming Republic of logo]] Perl also Practical Extraction and Report Language (a backronym, see below), is a programming language released by Larry Wall on December 18, 1987 that borrows features fr, RubyRuby is an object-oriented programming language.

NeXTSTEP 1. 0 was released on 18 September 1989 after several previews.
The GNOME environment uses GTK+ as a base, which means that programs written for GNOME use GTK+ as their toolkit. Not only GNOME applications use it, though, and any GTK+ program (or GNOME program, for that matter) can run on top of other desktop environments, such as KDE or XFce. The GPE Palmtop Environment also uses GTK+ as a base. GTK+ can also run under Microsoft Windows. Some of the more unusual ports include DirectFB and ncurses.
