Regarding that, QT 4.7 introduces a new declarative UI (QML). Sorta like XAML, but in javascript.

QT also includes a WebKit module that might be worth a look.

Hi vodkamartini,

Yeah I've looked at that a bit - it's totally brand new though, which scares me off a bit just in general. For example because it's new there really isn't much chance that very many people would already be familiar with that syntax, unlike HTML.

Also the general focus seems to be on making spinny whizzy animations with it, I'm not sure if much effort has been spent on using it for more regular application UIs.

Qt 4.7 is actually not even in final release yet, it's currently in beta.

That is actually what I've been looking at - it's the easiest way to actually build WebKit without having to install a huge simulated UNIX environment (Cygwin).

Music To My Ears...I now must be a lot of work involved but I'm sure Michael could pull it off...

In my opinion from a commercial point of view i think HTML UI will be in a more favorable position as it will enable users to more easily author their extensions given the fact that Michael will soon be unable to follow all the requests and may concentrate on the geometric core and the supporting api and sdk so that everyone might build own uis and features relevant to ones core business and Michael will maintain just a basic app..

sounds like a suggestion..))

"""""Michael will soon be unable to follow all the requests """"""""''

Michael is "Growing help" right now. As long as he waters and feeds it every day, all the forum requests will be handled with the same care!!! lol

Hi igor, yup that's one of the ideas behind using an HTML based UI in the first place - that it is more familiar to a wide range of people and that tends to make it easier for people to customize things or author new pieces of UI.
