Pros:

• Framebuffer FTW
• Window events rigged

Cons:

• Broken on your machine

Description

The GLUI is a research pattern that we will use internally to test approaches using a GLUTIN window. We’re not sure yet if it will make the final cut as a bona fide alternative to WebView, although early tests with transparent and multiwindow are exciting.

Diagram

import Mermaid, { colors } from '@theme/Mermaid'

<Mermaid chart={graph TD A==>H H==>G A-->D D-->G subgraph GLUTIN G end subgraph RUST A end A[Binary] D(Framebuffer) G[GL Window] H{Bootstrap} style GLUTIN stroke:${colors.blue.dark},stroke-width:4px style RUST fill:${colors.orange.light},stroke:${colors.orange.dark},stroke-width:4px} />

Configuration

Here's what you need to add to your tauri.conf.json file:

"tauri": {
  "allowlist": {                  // all API endpoints are default false
    "all": false,                 // disable the api
  },
  "window": {                     // not yet normative
    "glutin": true,
    "webview": false
  }
}
