Or, somewhat obviously, call .hidden() on the UI element in Qt. If, that is, Mixxx uses a Qt-based UI, as should be obvious *too* when using the Qt toolkit. > Who are you referring to?

In that case, the skinning system sucks and instead of thinking about switching to WebKit, the Mixxx developers should think about switching back to QtDesigner, an *excellent* tool for this. It includes previews and drag-and-drop and whatever you want, and exports to a .ui file probably similar to the .xml file you have now. You're using Qt, for gods sake, why implement your own stuff when Qt does almost *everything* UI-related almost perfectly by itself... > Agree with you there, Qt supports CSS declarative based UIs (the Qt > Wolfenstein 3D demo is crazy cool)....

There is no additional flexibility with WebKit, IMO.
