Equating electron and cross platform is a gigantic fallacy.
Qt and other GUI frameworks (like Juce and FLTK) exist and are blisteringly fast. You don't have to package an entire web browser to make something cross platform.
- chris_mc 8y agoQt, or whatever, isn't pretty enough for the designers.
- kjeetgill 8y agoI'm more familiar with GTK, but can't you still make it look like anything you want pixel perfect? I think the real issue is you can't bring all of your javascript/html/css libraries and tooling over.
- chris_mc 8y agoI think you're correct.
- kitsunesoba 8y agoThis is a total non issue with Qt Quick, but I think complete UI look control is a waste of time and effort. It’s wheel reinvention where light brand accents would suffice.
- CyberDildonics 8y agoQt and Juce can be customized to look however someone wants. I don't think it is really so difficult to make images for buttons, change palettes and make sure everything is anti-aliased.
- h1d 8y agoTo me QT apps look like they came out of some old code base with old UI and web apps look more appealing imo.
- PurpleRamen 8y agoHow easy is it these days to create web, smartphone and tablet-UIs with Qt and those other frameworks? Cross platform is not limited to desktop anymore.
- CyberDildonics 8y agoBoth Qt and Juce emphasize mobile UIs heavily.
