</div>While we are on the subject of Qt looking like Maemo without API<br>
changes, how are you dealing with the need for Maemo-specific API such<br>
as that in HildonWindow:<br>
<a href="http://maemo.org/api_refs/5.0/beta/hildon/HildonWindow.html" target="_blank">http://maemo.org/api_refs/5.0/beta/hildon/HildonWindow.html</a></blockquote><div><br>This trick is possible because Maemo applications have menus, toolbars as any normal<br>
desktop application. Okay they look different, but we can instruct Qt to give them the looks that<br>we want...<br>The same thing happens for the other official supported Qt platforms (mac, s60 ans so on)<br><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
I'm trying to get a general feel for how Qt can stick to its concept of<br>
multiple platforms without API changes, though Mameo 5 seems to be the<br>
first Qt platform with a significantly uncommon UI and API.</blockquote><div>Actually that's not the fist one...<br><br>Best wishes,<br>Antonio<br> <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
