Is there a way to show popups with sfml2?
For example, to throw an user readable error?

I don't believe so. You'd probably be best served by finding a GUI library, and then integrating SFML into that.

Think he's talking about simple message boxes only. But yeah, never thought about these, but these should be exposed by SFML IMO.

You can create a SFML window with no decoration (sf::Style::None). It won't be modal though.

Just googled a bit on this, and there's no generic way to do it? I expected some MessageBox pendant in X11, but it seems like there isn't any, so you'd have to create your own windows by hand... Would make a ready to use function even more interesting. Going to write up something for the suggestions forum.
