Yes, there's very good builtin CSS support in Qt and without it, it would
be a lots of work to implement theming support on

In terms of the mobile app market we would need to see how something like

In terms of mockups can we have them on the wiki so that way we can provide

Going back to the discussion of using CSS to styling and theming. I think
we should drop CSS and switch to XML files. I feel that XML files would be
better suited for those that want to customize the look of lmms and arent
as knowledgable about CSS as some of us major developers might be.
On Fri,
Ok then we go with fully customized widgets.

That's impossible. Qt doesn't have all the widgets that LMMS needs.
Thanks for teaching me something new today Vesa. :D When i saw CSS i
instantly thought something with a website or web related.

I think this is something which should be standardized. I think we should
not reinvent the wheel and use QT looking UI and QWidgets. This will
decrease UI complexity for sure.

Good, I like CSS,
CSS supports layouts, and sizes, this could be very useful to put LMMS
on mobiles.
i.e.
width: 20%
float: left
So it will support all the color functionality? I mean rgba
specifically... because an alpha channel could make some things look
REALLY modern and sleek.

Maybe there should be a list of all the UI elements that need to be
redone, and fixed.
