"Xdialog is designed to be a drop in replacement for the "dialog" or "cdialog" programs. It converts any terminal based program into a program with an X-windows interface. The dialogs are easier to see and use while adding even more functionalities (e.g. with the treeview, the file selector, the edit box, the range box, the help button/box). Because Xdialog uses GTK+, it will also match your desktop theme."

I dont think Xdialog is maintained anymore, dialog is though.
something like this? (albeit tied to gtk) http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/precise/en/man1/zenity.1...
Tcl/Tk is like this up to eleven (in positive sense).
This also works on Linux.

Edit: my mistake, no it doesn't. Apologies.

where do you see that? theres not even code in this repo, and the only release is a dmg file
It's not open source yet, but I am planning on making it so. Watch this space. In the mean time I'm open to feedback and bug reports via GitHub issues.
Right there in the demo, Ubuntu windows.

Edit: never mind, my apologies. It's the dark theme of Mac OS.

Once SwiftUI is available on Linux, Suitcase will "just work". But don't hold your breath.
Zenity is a classic example.
dialog, wish, whiptail...
there is also kdialog
