Where should I design the UI for my desktop application?
-
Hello everyone, I'm a new member of the Qt Community and I'm kind of lost for the moment.
I have an existing project with very basic UI built in QtCreator (just drag n drop elements) but it looks awfully old and ugly.
I would like to change many many things about the paddings , color , alignments , icon buttons and create custom buttons etc.. but it seems to be very time consuming with the CSSI noticed that Design Studio seems to be more modern with its elements but I don't know if it's the right choice for a UI Designer.
Being a mobile developer for the past few years, I'm used for example to place in the UI a ListView and then modify the list and the item's layout.
In Design Studio I feel that, all I can do, is just create containers with background colors and paddings and placeholders , maybe place some buttons.
Also, I don't see any CSS editor in Qt DS ,
-- Is this true?Then in QtCreator replace the placeholders with an actual ListView "widget/element".
-- Is this correct?It is my first time with QML and I have not fully understand their usage and their limitations.
-- Should I spend more time on the Qt Design Studio or is it only for advanced animations and graphics designer?
-- Should I use QtCreator for desktop UI widgets , pages, popups and modify CSS there?

@agelo1995 Hi! First of all, I want to say that I am new to qt too, so I may be wrong. But after reviewing some resources I got the impression, that nowadays people use QML for creating UI since it has more features and is easier to do than using C++ for this purpose. Somewhere I saw the idea that no one uses Qt Design Studio now.
Qt also has The Style Sheet Syntax which is almost identical to CSS. -
