- inetknght 7y agoEven so, Qt has a hell of a lot less of a footprint than Electron.
- vimslayer 7y agoAFAIK it's possible to use native controls too with Qt these days. I don't know if this project is doing so (probably not).
- franga2000 7y agoI'm pretty sure it can (and might by default) use native controls on macOS, and I've heard of that possibility on other platforms as well, but I'm not sure how far that's gotten.
- jcelerier 7y ago"more or less", on Mac it will sometimes use dummy OS controls for the sake of rendering, e.g. like here : https://code.woboq.org/qt5/qtbase/src/plugins/styles/mac/qmacstyle_mac.mm.html#3625 https://code.woboq.org/qt5/qtbase/src/plugins/styles/mac/qma... But it cannot just use native controls all the time as it generally supports more features than what is available on a given platform, so there has to be a kind of emulation.
