GUI Frameworks

AmigaOS spawned several GUI frameworks beyond the built-in GadTools/BOOPSI system. These frameworks provide layout management, user customization, and richer widget sets — features that the base Intuition API does not offer.

Framework Index

File Framework Era Description
mui/ MUI (Magic User Interface) 1993– De-facto standard. Architecture, developer guide, code examples
reaction.md ReAction / ClassAct 1997– Hyperion's official OS 3.5+ GUI toolkit
bgui.md BGUI 1994– Lightweight BOOPSI-based layout system
