QSkinny
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
The (Q)Skinny library is a framework built on top of the Qt scene graph
|
|
and very few core classes from Qt/Quick. It offers a set of lightweight controls,
|
|
that can be used from C++ and/or QML.
|
|
|
|
Doing the implementation in C++ allows to make use of the "scene graph"
|
|
classes. Building controls from scene graph nodes allows for a lighter implementation
|
|
than found with stacking "heavier" objects like QObject or QQuickItem.
|
|
Offering a full featured C++ API allows the application code to benefit
|
|
from following the same strategies.
|
|
|
|
Being "skinny" also means a design that separates concerns between
|
|
the API and logic of the controls themselves, the styling of these controls,
|
|
and the delegated rendering of the controls to the screen.
|
|
|
|
The code already provides a solid fundament for an automotive GUI with
|
|
currently ~300K lines of pure C++ code. As expected it results
|
|
in a good startup performance and a low memory footprint.
|
|
|
|
Nontheless QSkinny is lacking in areas like documentation or appealing
|
|
default skins. The QML API has not been completed after reaching a
|
|
proof of concept state. Furthermore the current selection of the implemented
|
|
controls is limited to the needs of the driving projects.
|
|
|
|
QSkinny is supposed to run on all platforms being supported by Qt/Quick.
|
|
But so far only Linux is actively tested.
|
|
It might support all versions Qt >= 5.6, but you can rely on:
|
|
|
|
- Qt 5.6
|
|
- current long term supported ( LTS ) version of Qt
|
|
- current version of Qt
|
|
|
|

|
|
direction - please contact support@qskinny.org.
