Long:
This library provides a means of creating fully font sensitive graphic user
interfaces (GUIs) with a minimum of programming efford.  It also provides a
couple of visual enhancements over GadTools, and a more convenient method
of handling gadget hotkey shortcuts.

The most important features of GUIFront is:

* GadTools foundation, very easy to come to grips with
* Generates fully font sensitive interfaces
* Automatic hotkey handling, including shift-cancellable buttons
* Hotkey aliasing - use F10 or ENTER as gadget hotkeys
* Easy backfilling of windows
* Automatic group framing
* Frame headlines
* Offers attractive new XEN look
* Easy to program, tags with suitable default values used most everywhere
* Executables are generally small, most code embedded in the library itself
* Fully supports localizing, including gadget labels and menus
* Preferences editor (localized) allowing customization of applications
* Simple installation (only one library and the preferences editor)

The preferences editor allows you to customize...

* Gadget fonts
* Frame headline fonts
* Frame headline style (text style, color, left/center/right leading etc)
* Gadget rendering style for each gadget kind (XEN or normal)
* Refreshing (simple or smart)
* Backfill patterns

Every setting is controllable on a per-application basis, allowing the user
full control over visual appearance for each application.
