Hello everyone, it is great to hear, that someone wants to take care of the skin system. But please don't use webkit and head for a Qt only solution (its a UI toolkit after all). If you want to be modern and funky look at Qt Declarative or something like that. Sorry, I just do not want another webapp on my pc ;)
