QT has a style system that can closely match the target platform.
- nostrademons 16y agoSo does Java Swing, but that never stopped Java from sticking out like a sore thumb everywhere. Users become very sensitive to the details of the windowing system, and when a program breaks their expectations, they often consciously recognize what's wrong with the program, they just get frustrated. I'm thinking of things as subtle as whether you can create and rename folders from within a Save As... box, or what the tab order of fields in a dialog is, or what cursor shows up when you drag & drop items. It's very easy to get the look & feel 99% right and still have users feel that something is still very wrong with the app.
- mrj 16y agoMaybe just a bad example, but the QT doc says: On Windows, Mac OS X, KDE and GNOME, these static functions will call the native file dialog when possible. http://doc.trolltech.com/4.7/qfiledialog.html http://doc.trolltech.com/4.7/qfiledialog.html QT is way better than Swing. It's a laughable comparison, really. QT does such a better job at being native.
