You have the same reason why I hate Office 10 as the reason why you like Chrome. It's light blue. Maybe black if you change the setting. It doesn't match any of my other apps. There is no File/Edit/etc menu, there's a ribbon any an annoying round button. It would be nice it if supported a legacy mode (Did I mention I still run the Windows 2000 interface on XP?)
Anyway, getting back to the topic at hand... You hate me and the way I want to develop my app because of some traumatic childhood experience you had as a kid with NCSA Mosaic. I can accept that. (Personally I found the pulsating Netscape 'N' more traumatic.) But the ability to define and apply arbitrary property groups - be they be for themes or something else - has a good bit of support and application. Can we get the feature? Please? I seem to be ahead of the curve wanting real sexy desktop apps, while you all are concentrating on phones. Some would call me a "visionary" or "before is time" (where the time difference is about 12 months. iPhone, Android are fueling the acceptance of alternate UIs). Please don't repress me because I dream big on the dekstop. Would it really ruin QML to put it in there? After all even your beloved Google chrome supports themes.... https://tools.google.com/chrome/intl/cy/themes/index.html ----- Original Message ---- From: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> To: [email protected]; [email protected] Sent: Tue, July 13, 2010 8:09:04 PM Subject: RE: [Qt-qml] Fw: Why can't I stylesheet a font? > If that doesn't work, how about this: "Think of the children!" > ... > Anyway, its 3:40am here, I am rambling. But let's not forget the > desktop. Mmm kay? Fear not Mr Mackey, if we forget the desktop then THE TERRORISTS HAVE ALREADY WON! The desktop is undergoing the same UI design revolution. The "system palette" on Windows 7 is in some sort of legacy settings panel somewhere, IIRC. Google Chrome is one of the nicest app running on my Linux desktop... at it ignores the "theme". There are some extra challengers on the desktop - screen size variability mainly, but also accessibility requirements, etc. Fortunately, the desktop is a little behind the curve compared to phones etc, so regular Qt widgets give the 1990's generic toolkit functionality that is still the desktop norm, and we all have time to ensure QML is perfect on devices before the wave really hits the desktop. Ironically, cool styling on the desktop is currently seen most in small-window apps like Plasmoids, Windows Gadgets, Media Players, and little popup-apps like Skype... all of which are perfect targets for QML exactly as it is right now. -- Warwick _______________________________________________ Qt-qml mailing list [email protected] http://lists.trolltech.com/mailman/listinfo/qt-qml
