I’m looking for something like glade that I can use in windows. I like
the wxruby from what I’ve read and hope that they’re is a designer for
it. Any ideas? Netbeans?

The only GUI designer for wx I know about is wxFormBuilder (
GitHub - wxFormBuilder/wxFormBuilder: A wxWidgets GUI Builder ), but it looks like it can’t
produce Ruby output, only C++ and Python. But don’t be afraid, it isn’t
that hard to learn, just another gem 
Have a look here:
Ruby on Windows: Getting Started with the wxRuby GUI Toolkit
But if you’re using Ruby 1.9 you should use
gem install wxruby-ruby19
rather than
gem install wxruby
If you get a windows-95-style GUI, see here:
Ruby on Windows: Windows XP Visual Style Controls with wxRuby
and for Vista: Visual styles in Windows Vista? - wxRuby - Ruby-Forum
. The documentation and a short tutorial is available here:
http://wxruby.rubyforge.org/doc/
.
Besides that, wxRuby comes with a huge amount of example scripts on how
to use a specific control (or widget, if you like…).

Netbeans has a nice GUI designer for Java that will work in JRuby apps.
Likewise Xcode for RubyCocoa, but that won’t run on Windows.

Search the list archives for a very recent thread, “Ruby GUI Libs”
Should help, and might avoid having the same GUI discussion every month.

Which was taken into consideration. Perhaps I have poor searching
methods. Is they’re anyway to sticky this topic? I don’t always have
internet access, so it is lengthy to read everything about ruby in one
sitting, which is why I love forums so much, guaranteed that someone has
already asked the same question or is wondering the same thing. Thanks
for all the replies!

BTW, you are posting and reading a mailing list that happens to be
mirrored to a Web forum. So every post adds a bit of overhead.

This may help: http://is.gd/4YtBD
It’s a search of the google group copy of the mailing list.
There’s also a FAQ of sorts up on github, but github is having server
failures :(.

I like wxRuby because I use different Operating Systems and different
Desktops that use different guitoolkits(qt,gtk,windows). Why I like it
is because the finished wxRuby will look native to each toolkits.
However I have no experience, this is only an opinion on researching
ruby. hope this helps you.
