• Check out my new drawing software PainterQt for Windows operating systems!!

  PainterQt is an open source drawing software written in C++ using Qt GUI creation technology. PainterQt is a personal project of mine that started with a few lines with the purpose of understanding how Qt's QPainter class works. The program grew and I decided to work on it in a serious project and then distribute it. I would love to see this dream of mine come true, so if you could take a look at the software and...

• Maui vs the alternatives (Avalonia, Flutter, Electron, etc)

• QML for Python and poor community !!

  Can you suggest some tutorials and sources for QML and Python , I can't find any helpful sources (videos on YouTube / Project in github ) , except the qt.io but it's not enough and there are a few examples there . Source: over 1 year ago

• Point me in the right direction please.

  Well, since you mention Qt... Install it with the Online Installer (https://www.qt.io/download-qt-installer, then ignore all the talk about commercial version, you do want the open source version). Just one version of Qt, probably the latest. For Windows, choose MingGW version of Qt and check that the matching MinGW is set to be installed too. If you have trouble, check out the installation instructions (should be... Source: over 1 year ago

• Tracking OpenGL state changes

  Hi, I have a problem that I've trying to solve for quite some time. I'm working on a project that uses two different libraries: Qt and Skia. The core part of the app is written in Qt and Skia is integrated with a custom OpenGL layer using the APIs provided by Qt. Now, the problem is that unfortunately, since both Skia and Qt make use of the same OpenGL context, this leads to rendering artifacts (for example text... Source: over 1 year ago

• Cross-Platform Framework for Desktop Development?

  If you were to use C++ I would suggest using Qt because it's essentially the best cross-platform GUI framework for C++. However, it definitely takes some learning. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Is there any way to force QtCreator to use KDE Plasma's currently active Kvantum theme?

• Cannot open source file "QTimer"

  The second is that, thankfully for you, the project uses qmake to be built. QMake is a build system, and as I mentioned before, there are many, as build systems is not something standardized. However, qmake is directly shipped with Qt, so you already have it installed if you installed Qt. Also, as part of Qt installation (assuming you used the installer from qt.io, which is the common way on Windows and Macs),... Source: about 2 years ago

• The Meson Build System manual is now available for free

  I don't specifically trust or distrust The Qt Company on their work on build systems, but note that the blog post has a lot of links to stuff in the issue tracker of CMake, and seems those issues were accepted and had to be dealt with. Also, I don't know the specifics, but Craig Scott has been showing a qt.io email address, and comitting to qtbase since November 2020. I suppose they have good first hand knowledge...

• What is better for Linux desktop app development between Python, C, and C++?

  Once in a while, I see someone wondering whether PyQt or QT is the right framework to use for their desktop application. Should you use Qt or PyQt? The short answer is, it depends! Qt is a C++ framework, so if your application will be written mostly in C and C++, then you can use it. - Source: dev.to / about 3 years ago
