[Interest] Qt Quick Controls 1 deprecated but no native styles for Qt Quick Controls 2?

[Dimitar Dobrev]

Video cards which don't support OpenGL are without a doubt a small minority. Even if we assume it's a significant minority, have you actually measured the performance of Qt Widgets versus Qt Quick with no hardware support? In other words, Qt Widgets is, as far as I know, always rendered in software, so how would it be faster than Qt Quick rendered in software?

The argument for performance and easiness has been made more than a year ago by the Qt team itself, as I've pointed out earlier in this thread. I haven't said even once that it's easy. I've only been saying it's necessary.

Qt Widgets don't need a 3D accelerator. There are still use cases where you don't have an OpenGL-enabled environment. Making QCC2 looking native on Desktop in order to make Desktop applications would -in my opinion- just mean that you waste computing power on rendering controls that can be rendered easier, with less dependencies and without need to provide QML-to-C++ bridges.
