Hey all, I've kept this a bit quiet lately outside
of the IRC channel but today myself and Robin42 have made some good progress so
I thought I would give the mailing list a little taste of whats to
come.
Basically we are working on Qt theming of
System.Windows.Forms with Rhys's elegant design of the ThemePainter abstraction
of ControlPaint. Theres a bit of a code access issue with
System.Windows.Forms having access to Xsharp, but with the help from Rhys I'm
bypassing that temporarily.
Qt has some very nice painting methods that are in
my eyes somewhat similiar to how winforms paints things, so it allows us to use
the two quite well. Robin42's code is well done as well because I'm not a
c/c++ guru nor am I a Qt guru but I'm able to extend his code to handle more
widgets.
This is truly a testament to Rhys's
System.Windows.Forms design that I was able to do this so easily once I got past
a major road block. So far I have basic textbox, button, checkbox and
radio button rendering today. I'm very happy with the results. There
are some drawing issues here and there, but for the most part its looking very
slick!
Here is how my KDE style (plastik) looks with what
we have so far:
Take care,
Simon
