Hi Peng, Thank you for reading our design doc as well as your interest.
As described in the doc, our primary motivation to build custom UI is to make the user experience of text input be uniform with Chromium OS. To achieve the goal, we are using the same UI library used for Chromium, called Views, for our text input UI, rather than GTK+ or Qt. This probably makes it hard to use in other Linux platforms. However, we'd like to share code and ideas with you as much as possible. We'll soon open source our UI stuff as part of Chromium OS code base. I'll let you know once it's out.
