I forgot to mention that we also have an alternative.

We can completely ditch C++ idea here and instead remove the native title bar or border that the Window Manager gives and instead draw our own title bar in Tcl/Tk. But that means rewriting the menu system.

So, I'm waiting for the decision of Pratyush Yadav here.

No, I'm not choosing a toolkit. Whatever I will do, it will be in native C++ without any other toolkit. It might be a little hard, but it is better than including another whole library in here. Lightweight is a reason I chose Git GUI and I will make sure that my contribution does not make that go.
