HARMONY TOOLKIT
The 'Harmony toolkit' is a never-completed free software widget toolkit that aimed to be API compatible with the then-proprietary Qt widget toolkit. It also aimed to add functionality such as multi-threaded applications and pluggable themes.
The GNU project launched the Harmony project, and also the GNOME desktop project, to counter the problem that the free software KDE desktop was gaining popularity but was requiring that people install proprietary software.
It was released under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL).
Development ceased at the end of 2000, when Qt became compatible with free software, removing the need for the Harmony Project to exist.
