Between the tools that are operating with this widget toolkit you can find: Pidgin - the instant messenger, AbiWord - an application similar to Word, Wireshark, VMware Player, Ekiga VoIP softphone, Midori - portable internet webbrowser, CinePaint, Gramps and others.
Some tools require to install this package first. For instance, The GIMP application won't function without installing GTK.
In other words, GTK+ manages the components of the program's user interface with all the menus, buttons, fields and so forth. .The text is rendered operating with Pango engine.
