the Qt-est application
Message 1 in thread
Hello,
since a long time I've been interested in UI design, ergonomics and
HCI and since last year I've come in touch with Qt by actively
developing with it both for UI and for internals. I found that I could
design my applications' interfaces to be human friendly with less pain
than I used to do before. My "problem" now is that I'd really like to
see what (and how) others are doing cute things with Qt. I mean: I
actually like very much k3b's UI and I'm pretty amazed with Adobe
Bridge and Skype about how they don't look like Qt (i.e. using a
default widgets appearance).
What I'm asking you is what are you favorite Qt applications regarding
their coolness in the UI -- about look&feel and HCI topics.
I'd really love to hear suggestions from you on where to look for
(possibly open source) applications.

Sorry.. I forgot in QT they are called Styles...
Pretty straight forward to use, and can create some pretty dramatic
results!

Here are two different styles I've done:

Making a completely custom style is a lot of work though.
