QT vs. WX

Name: Anonymous 2009-02-05 5:59

Now that QT is published under LGPL is there any reason at all to use wxwidgets?
Which one of these do you think is superior for developing crossplatform state-of-the-art multimedia production software?

Why for Windows and Mac is "on", but for KDE is "in"?

Using anything on Windows will look like shit because Windows looks like shit to begin with.

no, all the themes except the default theme have the same problem on my solaris test box, which doesn't have kde installed.

Saying that GTK is ugly on Windows might have been true five years ago. Nowadays GTK has adapted a pretty much native look, and I can't really see anything wrong with it.

Look at this screenshot of Comix[1], for example. Looks like any other Windows application you might come across.

Why does the font rendering look like total shit?
Why doesn't it use the standard Windows-style checkboxes and radio buttons?
Why do the menubar and toolbar have fucktardedly thick bevels?
Why does the scrollbar gutter not have the same slightly stippled look as every fucking Windows app?
Why are the inactive tabs in the dialogs a different color?
Why does it use nonstandard icons?

And more specifically regarding that app, why does it list Unix style file permissions and owner, which are completely goddamn meaningless on Windows?
Why are the close buttons translated but nothing else is? If this is supposed to be some kind of sample screenshot, at least make it all one language.

That's a really lousy example image you've got there.

Probably because it is developed for UNIX platforms and just happens to work on Windows? I can see where you are coming from with some of your points, but as I said before, it looks that `shitty' as people make it out.

Use a different theme. GTK looks fine on Windows[1].

GTK is a lot closer to looking like a native program nowadays, but it still looks like shit in places (menus and toolbars, mostly).

Somewhat more annoying is how GTK applications always get the OK/Apply/Cancel buttons in the wrong order on Windows. How can you get one of the most basic features so completely WRONG‽ That was a rhetorical question

The command line is all the interface anyone would naturally want. If you really need a beginner's interface, I suggest curses. GUIs are only moderately appropriate in mobile interfaces.

Use platform specific toolkits. Ditch the ``cross-platform'' shite, especially for UIs. Each OS has a different style and/or runs on different form factors. It's better to use MFC (or another win32 wrapper for whatever language) on Windows and Cocoa on OS X.

That'd be great if all you write are toy programs.
