Narrow your window. For some reason it only works on 'medium' width.

  Probably something you might want to check if you have the following tagline: "A modern user interface that is beautiful on every screen and performs perfectly on every platform is not an option, it’s a necessity."

    That's a very weird oversight. Can't believe no one caught that.

      Their webpages are constantly moving, changing and breaking. The domain itself has moved 4 times in 4 years. There's just incredible churn on that side of the project, unfortunately.

    Maybe they only tested it in the Qt WebBrowser (I'm only half-joking - it seems to work on "narrow windows", which would be in line with the type of devices on which this browser is supposed to work).

  Same here. On Desktop, Firefox - it's broken with maximized window. After you reduce the window size to a certain level, the images appear instantly.

    Sites breaking on desktop is so bizarre, it's like something that shouldn't even be happening since HTML's base defaults work for it.

It's Chrome that's broken, so you'll try QtWebBrowser /s

Pretty broken. I gave up finding a download link for the compiled windows bins after 5 minutes.

  https://www.qt.io/download-open-source/#section-2 https://www.qt.io/download-open-source/#section-2 The first step is the installer asks you to sign up or login. Thankfully there is a "skip" button.

I can't believe the level of sarcasm and vitriol this is getting. Someone messed up! A bug that happens under specific circumstances that probably aren't being tested for (screen size above X) showed up. Happens to the best of us! The folks who work on the website probably aren't even the same folks who work on the toolkit. And what even if they were? Does that erase the awesome product they created? Sometimes the lazy negativity on the internet bothers me to no end.

  At the time of this writing, there are 14 comments nested beneath the parent. Two are mildly sarcastic ("probably something you might want to check", "welcome to mobile first"). A handful that simply state "the site's broken". The Internet can be a harsh place sometimes, but you should consider the possibility that you're being hyper-sensitive. There's really nothing here.
