GTK3 and QT5 for Windows ?

Post by threedslider »

Can be support to GTK3 and QT5 for Windows as a gui complete, I mean we custom all button, label, tips, icon, interaction and all ? ... That sounds great for everyone, right ?

We need to make a look and feel for Gui as beautiful and customized :)

Hope that take that way, thanks !

It's way too much work for basically nothing, QT and GTK feel clumsy on Windows and PB already support native gadgets for all controls. If you want more flexible UI, WebViewGadget() is the way to go.

QT also has some accessibility issues with screen readers on all platforms, for example I'm pretty sure that listviews and treeviews are still just completely broken on the Mac with VoiceOver. The TeamTalk developer complained for years before he just hooked them to speak to VO himself. What a mess.
Also, PB already provides a way to draw a button, checkbox, etc natively on all three platforms ;)

Hi

I agree with Fred that this is way too much work. I use WebUI https://webui.me to communicate to any web browser to build my GUI and it works well. It is not that hard to learn how to use it. Then you are only limited by your imagination for what can be created in the Web Browser.

Thanks to all :)

But I can create my own Gui toolkit in PB, right ? I think yes, I have seen someone done that ... In PB there a lot of way to create for Gui :shock:

Of course GTK3 and QT5 too much of work you are right even if it was easy to setup it :lol: , Webview is cool but it is depending to web file... I want something integrated into without dependency :? ... You know how to embed into a program ?

For me there is two the hardcore in PB and the context to OpenGL for gui ... And I am studying this :P and it is fun but much of work ^^

So sorry and forget the wishlist's of GTK3 and QT5 :?
