[Qt-interest] It would be nice if the QT user interface styling and widgets was as detailed and polished as this.

[Andrew Stuart]

Sorry - Qt.  I'll spell it right in future.

Yes we tried graphicsview but we had to revert when we found that  
Flash doesn't consistently work with it and we also found many  
differences between the way widgets behave when in graphicsview versus  
normal mode.  For apps that don't require webkit/flash graphicsview  
looks interesting.

First of all, it's Qt, with a lowercase t. It's a trademark, so please  
spell
it right.

Second, that will never happen. We'll never stop developing features.  
Much
less for a "couple of years". Please look at what Qt was 4 years ago,  
or even
4.0, and tell me if you were comfortable with the features that were  
there.
Does any other toolkit stop developing features?

Besides, you are asking for more features. You are asking for the  
ability to
style even more, to control even more the appearance of the  
application. And
you're not simply asking for the ability to do that -- which you  
already have
-- you're asking that we add features to the widgets that we do ship  
with to 
support the styling you want. I call that new features.

We have to constantly strike the balance between new features and  
maintenance.
We've spent the past 3 releases doing a lot of optimisations and  
performance
improvements. We're overhauling some of the internal basics in order  
to do it
even better.

Finally, have you taken a look at Declarative UI and QML?
