I would like to try do some windowed appications, and i would like a very simple graphics library. Idealy, it would just take an array as an image, and give me events, and everything else i would handle myself.  
I stumbled upon MiniFB.jl which is basicly what i would want, but Iam getting some error with that. ([MiniFB Error (SetProcessDpiAwernessContext): Access was denied](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/minifb-error-setprocessdpiawernesscontext-access-was-denied/96598))  
Do you know any other similar library?

Something like [GLWF.jl](https://github.com/JuliaGL/GLFW.jl) may be what you’re looking for - handles creation of OpenGL windows.

See for example [GLMakie](https://github.com/MakieOrg/Makie.jl/tree/master/GLMakie) (plotting) and [CImGui](https://github.com/Gnimuc/CImGui.jl) (UI, wrapping ImGui library) for a couple real uses of it.

ok, graphics drivers dont support opengl, but that’s a problem of my old computer. That might have been the problem with miniFB too, otherwise i would like this library, i should get a new computer probably.  
thank you

Take a look here: [Genie framework](https://genieframework.com/), although it may do more than you’re looking for.
