Because I know Qt and the code is already platform dependent anyways. Could Wt Desktop use the Internet Explorer ActiveX on Windows, Safari on Mac and something else on Unix? Sure, but it would be more difficult to implement and IMHO it breaks with what I want: very easy distribution, very little support. If Wt Desktop used a different browser backend on each platform, you'd need to support every version of every browser. By using only one (WebKit), you (developer) can focus only in one backend and you know it will work. Next step: auto-finding port, "screen locking", session stealing (like Remote Desktop or VNC but with pure Web 2.0, no Flash, VNC or anything else!) and session sharing (allowing other people to view your navigation; I know this is possible but I have no idea how to implement this (yet) ) -- Pau Garcia i Quiles http://www.elpauer.org (Due to my workload, I may need 10 days to answer) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
