Yes, there is nothing preventing us (you included :) ) to do that and probably at some point the community is going to implement that. Besides having that, what I would really like is that we have a "component set" (at some point in the future I would like to be able to start calling them "widgets" again, as this is what they are) that is the same on all platforms. So, from my point of view we would have: 1 - platform specific qml widgets (I don't care if technically the desktop widgets share the same implementation and use the QStyle API to draw them the way they should be - that's actually a good way to go); 2 - The "Qt set" (that ideally would be qt's default offer - that works on all the platforms, enabling us to write applications that would behave and look like the same on all platforms). IMHO, number 2 is important to allow Qt developers to easily write cross platform applications without the need to be bounded to specific platform-widget API/behavior. For example, one would be able to write an application that would run on linux/windows/osx, knowing that this widget set would be available in all of them. Of course, the developer wouldn't be able to use any platform specific API. Ah, it's worth mentioning that these widgets should be designed and draw by real designers and not by us (developers). Even if we think that we have designer skills, we don't ;) Cheers, -- ------------------------------------------------------- Artur Duque de Souza openBossa INdT - Instituto Nokia de Tecnologia ------------------------------------------------------- Blog: http://blog.morpheuz.cc PGP: 0xDBEEAAC3 @ wwwkeys.pgp.net ------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Qt5-feedback mailing list [email protected] http://lists.qt.nokia.com/mailman/listinfo/qt5-feedback
