Funny, as real-life "cybersecurity" work is not very visual (grepping through log files doesn't look very sexy). I'm half tempted to put together a ridiculous, Ghost In The Shell-like demo with 3D graphics just for the l

That's a Qt Widget example, you should look at Qt Quick for a way to build more modern-looking interfaces. With Qt Quick user interfaces are described in QML, a declarative markup language, and you can write most (or all, if you want)
