Hi there
I'm not a member of this list - couldn't find how to subscribe - so apologies for directly sending.
I just have two questions:
Has consideration been given to basing a back-end on QTools? Does it have potential to do the job, or is it better to work directly through native OS capabilities.
Cheers
Mike Thomas

No, QTools never came up as a proposed backend. We did consider cross-platform libraries as backends though. I think that the most likely SDL backend will be implemented at some point of time.

I would be surprised if it couldn't do a job. I don't know this library but it seems to be a layer on top of CommonQt which is pretty complete to my knowledge.

Hi,
if QT was regarded as an option, CommonQt would probably be the more obvious choice for a CLIM Backend to avoid multiple layers of abstraction. In addition CommonQt (and Qtools) currently is stuck with Qt4 and I'm not aware there are any efforts to port it to Qt5.

I don't think mcclim would use the widgets provided by qt, so it doesn't need to interface with the object model provided by commonqt. You would just need a way to output things on screen, render fonts and receive input events. Can do that more efficiently with a simple c++ wrapper.
