What is it that you don't like about Gtk?

But what you want to do is to think how to make this library work
regardless of OS. You should design it so that there is a lower layer
which is OS dependant, but that everything on top isn't. I think trying
that to make a new GUI that isn't OS independant is perhaps not such a
good idea unless there is a niche for it.
