Why not wxQT under linux system?
GTK is nasty. I say about appearance.
Where will I find relation to making of skin in wxWidgets?

Re: wxQT
Because no-one has found the time to do it. And often because of the fact that the justification isn't very big, and therefore the priority is low. QT is GPLed when using the free version, and therefore there are lots of licensing concerns (I'm not telling that they are valid or invalid), and wxGTK already exists - one could just use the gtk-qt theme engine, for example.prokicki wrote:Why not wxQT under linux system?
Why not just find a better theme for your gtk+?prokicki wrote:GTK is nasty. I say about appearance.

Change your gtk+ theme, and the appearance of your wxGTK applications changes appropriately.
E.g:

I can't say that this is nasty or ugly...
Imho it's like complaining that WinXP is ugly if you situate on a machine that doesn't have XP themes on, and instead of turning the XP themes on, you complain about bad appearance (disclaimer: your mileage might vary, as one might be in love with the classic appearance of windows)

At one point I offered to do this. However, the idea was rejected by most wx-devs.prokicki wrote:Why not wxQT under linux system?

Re: wxQT
I would be in favor of wxQT just as soon as Trolltech's licensing allows the same terms as the wxWidgets libraries, and that you can make applications using the Qtlib under the MinGW tools (and includes freely redistributing the Qtlib with your application without a licensing snafu). But then again, why use Qt lib on Windows when wxWidgets uses the MS API natively?prokicki wrote:Why not wxQT under linux system?

I have the opposite opinion: I think GTK is a very nice library without the licensing hassles of trolltech (especially in the area of closed applications).

Re: wxQT
I don't remember original thread but I would appreciate Ryan that referring to past discussion you could provide link (either to list.wxwidgets.org or to gmane.org) so it could be confirmed by readers that it was really rejected and not just followed with concerns about licenses or priority. Perhaps your "rejected" impression could came from other issues.Ryan Norton wrote:At one point I offered to do this.

I would be personally interested in wxQT existence but that doesn't mean it has to be kept in wxWidgets tree. It can be in form of different repository with own include/wx/qt and src/qt + diff to other wxWidgets files. That could make port available but sources separated. I do this kind of separation myself for wxTV port. Not much time for developing this but it's all the time updated to wxCVS state.

Looks like in short all the devs accepted possible future port existence but suggested to not waste time working on it until it will be surely cleared from licence doubts.
