Custom Linux GUI

I'm interested in creating a GUI for a Linux operating system. What I'm trying to do, is, a program will be the GUI -- the program will have be quite basic. I think this question will go into Embedded Linux development, but I'm not sure where t开发者_运维知识库o start neither the amount of tutorials or help available.

Thank you for any help.

I would suggest looking at using Qt with the Linux framebuffer driver. That way you can have an embedded GUI without the overhead of running an X server.

Already done? DirectFB

DirectFB adds graphical power to embedded systems and sets a new standard for graphics under Linux.

CodeTyphon can let you easily code, visually design and cross compile GUI applications for embedded linux with custom canvas if you want.
