Qt GUI
A Qt base is currently the main item on the modRana roadmap, due to multiple reasons:
- it enables modRana to run properly on Harmattan
- it enables the use of kinetic scrolling, smooth animations and generally improves performance
- generally better suitable for touchscreen interfaces with Qt Quick (QML)
- unlike Clutter, that needs OpenGL, QML also supports software rendering
- development experience with Mieru generally shows it's much faster to work with than doing custom UI with Cairo
- removes the dependency on GTK
- it is currently not possible to submit applications with outside dependencies both to the Ovi store and to Apps for MeeGo (AFM seems to be working on dependency support though)
