Why do you need ogl for alpha blending? Also where can I see
demos/screenshots of wx? I have plenty of experience in writing cheapie
gui's using graphics libraries such as Allegro or even direct pokes to vram
and tinkering with vga i/o ports (in msdos). If you want a simple gui
(buttons, edit fields, and maybe file browsers, but nothing more complicated)
I could probably hack something "nice" together using whatever you're already
using for graphics. But it's not recommended.
