Glade and GTK: which version to choose?

I'm new to Linux C/C++ GUI programming. I Installed the following on Linux Mint 17.1 KDE:

  1. Code::Blocks 13.12
  2. GTK+ 2 and GTK+ 3
  3. Glade 3.8.0 and 3.16.1. I'm not sure so I installed both.

But what are the differences? The only thing I can see is 3.8.0 has no "edit widget margin" and "edit widget alignment". I don't understand. I know 3.8.x is for GTK+ 2 and > 3.16 is for GTK+ 3.

I think you are mixing up a GUI-toolkit, in this case GTK, with the GUI-designer, in this case Glade. A GUI can be constructed using the appropriate language bindings, or by using a GUI designer. In the case of Glade, the layout of the GUI will be saved as an XML-file (*.glade) that you can load from inside your applications code.

You should probably read through some of these pages:
