I'm building a UI component library on top of gtk3 to aid and building good looking UI faster with few lines of code. Currently using Gtk-d (gtk3)

I know there's a gtk4 branch somewhere but doesn't seem to have gained much improvement a while now. I would much rather prefer going with the newest version of gtk, v4, rather than the soon to be phased out, v3

Is anyone able to use gtk4 in D?

I believe the best would be to start a thread in the GtkD support forum. There have been few individuals who tried to bring the v4 branch up-to-date but it does not look like they were successful. It is unfair to expect Mike Wey to do everything - it should be a community effort. In fact, I humbly believe D Foundation should be involved as this is in my humble opinion one of the most important project in D ecosystem. GtkD is the most complete GUI toolkit for D, without any doubt.

Yes, you can use GTK4 in D. Although the GTK4 branch for the GtkD wrapper hasn’t been updated recently, GTK4 is still a C library and can be used directly from D.
