After seeing the huge gains provided by using tools like this for development on the Windows platform I had often wondered if something similar could be developed for GTK/Linux. I have had my answer delivered in impressive form. This would have been a remarkable tool even if it had been nothing more than an interface property investigator, but the added ability to modify a running interface really puts in an entirely different league in terms of its usefulness for prototyping and for inferring best practices from existing applications--the latter being an especially pragmatic thing for a platform that prides itself on cleanliness and consistency. I love it and I hope you continue to develop it as long as you can. Cheers, Bouvard Wow, found this via the Ars article.

My project (Anomos) is a fork from an existing GTK program (BitTorrent), and I've never used GTK before but need to redesign the inherited GUI. This makes learning GTK much less intimidating for me and is a very helpful concept for doing redesign. My hat is off to you, sir! You rock - keep up the good work. Holy shit this is awesome.

I think it helps developing GTK+2 interfaces a lot! Thanks. This is really neat. I think it helps developing GTK+2 interfaces a lot!

It would be great if you could add the section "Using Parasite" from http://code.google.com/p/gtkparasite/ - I searched some time until I found how to use it.
