QMenu infrastructure - is deriving an own Menu not an option?

[SGaist]

Hi,

Did you already saw the Qt Quarterly about the pie menu ?

There might be stuff in there of interest.

Thank you very much, I read this like 20 years ago, that was about the time I started using Qt as my preferred gear ;)

But that is what I meant by "the concept got misunderstood". A big round Button with Actions...

20 years ago fullHD was a rare resolution - we didn't have as much screenspace as today. Thus we had to somehow pack on-screen, what was needed within minimal bounds. Times have changed, though...

[SGaist]

Would you have a picture to share with the result you want to achieve ?

[St0fF]

Actually, I'm pretty close to achieve what I'm trying to achieve, I may realease it shortly on github. Although, thinking it over again, maybe a screenshot or executable is better for finding a good job ;)

I'm very interested in this pie menu🌚🌚

[SimonSchroeder]

You got me hooked. I'm really curious how you expect the pie menu to look differently than the ones we all know. Please share a screenshot.

[St0fF]

Please no pressure - it's not far enough, yet. Working on a more flexible placement algorithm, so submenus open in a way that it feels "right".

When everything is animated, it surely can get messy very quickly... So it's hard to find out what didn't work...

As an alternative approach, there is an unofficial qml plugin to integrate rive animations in your qt app: https://github.com/basysKom/RiveQtQuickPlugin

Here's me loading a .qml file with a rive item into a PyQt6 application, every interaction is handled with rive.

Just a quick follow-up: which screen-recorder did you use?

Additionally, here's some wheel menus that I found, so if you're good with design and animation concepts, it's pretty easy to replicate without complicated coding:

I had to remove my zoom & evade- code, as it didn't work right, yet. But there you can get an idea of what I believe it should look like...

And here's another Video - you can see it doesn't help much not to be able to use the QMenuPrivate infrastructure, as QPieMenu has no way to tell, if it was caused by another menu or not (context). Still looks cool ;)
