You can accomplish your Windows goals already in any of the existing Glimmer toolkits. As such, I don't see value in supporting a new toolkit for your Windows needs. It would just be a big waste of time. Learn one of the existing toolkits well instead and you'll have your Windows app ready in no time.
I already gave you an implementation in Glimmer DSL for LibUI in this issue report:
AndyObtiva/glimmer-dsl-libui#31
If you don't like it, it can be improved (just ask me.. more area-based custom controls can be used to solve your problems), or you can simply build in Glimmer DSL for SWT, the richest Glimmer DSL in features. As I've mentioned to you before, it can package Windows EXE/MSI files, so your user can install as a native application on Windows (without needing to have Java or JRuby) and use just like any other Windows application. If you're stuck somehow with Glimmer DSL for SWT, hit me up in an issue or in Gitter Chat. I'd be happy to help. I could even implement the main screen or skeleton of the app if you like. Glimmer is so produtive, it takes almost no time, so I don't mind at all.
Otherwise, since you have been having trouble with installing GTK on Windows, I probably would recommend Glimmer DSL for FX next since it is rich in features and includes Windows binaries out of the box (just like LibUI), so you can just install your app gem in Windows, and it would work (just like LibUI). Unfortunately, FXRuby does not have a native Windows look and feel (unlike LibUI and SWT), but it might be good enough for your user anyways. If you need help with this toolkit, hit me up about it in an issue or in Gitter Chat. That Glimmer DSL is still brand new, so it is missing many features, but it might work well as is for your needs anyways.
Tcl/Tk is another option that is rich in features, but its setup is complicated, so I would probably avoid unless all other options became unfeasible.
In any case, I am closing this issue as I don't see as useful.
