In an effort to better understand GTK, a common cross-platform graphical toolkit, I created Simple IDE. It's a basic text editor with the ability to execute a custom command, perfect for running a make script and executing the result. Feel free to use the attached source, while working on your projects, and please let me know if you see something that can be improved.

GTK, the Gimp Tool Kit named for it's origin in the Gimp image editor, is one of the two major user interface toolkits available on Linux. In fact, it's available on many other platforms as well, including Windows and Mac OS X. Rooted in C programming and visually attractive in programs such as Firefox, GTK is simple and beautiful from the ground up.
