Zenity is a tool that allows you to display Gtk+ dialog boxes from the command line and through shell scripts. It is similar to gdialog, but is intended to be saner. It comes from the same family as dialog, Xdialog, and cdialog, but it surpasses those projects by having a cooler name.

I read about this program in linux-magazine and decided to give it a try.
zenity helped me a lot at developing bash scripts for non-geeks,
i never liked gui-programming, but with this program its fun and easy !
keep up your good work ! ;-)
Great Work
Really a cool tool.I have implemented GUI for my C program :) Keep up this good work.
xmessage for old computers
This is a very nice program, however I plan on having my program run zenity then xmessage if zenity can't be executed. The whole world does not use Gnome (even as good as it is).
Rock!
What a rocking program, much better than gdialog. The easter egg is teh suck too....
