Hi Yannick,

     Currently, there is no clear winner in the "GUI for Ruby" category.  A
few of the possibilites that
I'm aware of are:

     Ruby + Qt
     Ruby + wxWidgets
     JRuby + Java Swing
     Ruby + TK
     Ruby on Rails + a copy of WebRick running locally (to purists, not
really a GUI, but to

pragmatists, may get you there faster than

learning a new toolkit)
Good luck.

Dennis

It depends alot on what you are most familiar with, and where you want your
program to be able to run afterwards.  All the ones I've mentioned above
have the advantage of being cross-platform.  There are
some other possibilities mentioned in this article:

Finally, I'd suggest you just Google for "GUI for Ruby" and do some
exploring.
