I'm guessing most Quick widgets aren't immediately usable in this form factor. I'd guess they'd need heavy skinning efforts and custom cursor management to have a chance, and still only the most basic ones would be usable.
Is there any other ~open UI toolkit that's good at TV-style/D-pad-focused navigation out there?
- detaro 6y agoDon't you want a custom design (re "skinning") anyways for an application like that? Yes, navigation is something you'd need to at least partially build yourself, but in my experience it's not a big deal (I haven't done TV apps specifically, but lots of embedded things with D-pad-like controls), since most UIs have clear navigation hierarchy. QML is very common for this kind of application, and I'm not aware of anything else widely used and open that'd be better for this specific thing.

I was still holding out hope for some framework that had some decent basic widget designs for a TV-like format so that I didn't have to do all of the work on my own, but I guess that doesn't exist. (I can adjust the design of my app to whatever is available.) Thanks!
