The QSkinny UI framework
QSkinny is a UI framework based on the Qt graphic stack and written in C++. It allows users to write their UIs in C++ (and QML).
Why QSkinny?
It’s free. It’s 100% written in C++. Using QML on top is possible (but not used widely yet). Connect data easily, no language barrier. Flexible layouts.
What is it?
QSkinny is written in C++, so its API is similar to QtWidgets. It is based on the modern Qt graphic stack, so its backend is the same as the one QML uses.
It's free!
The QSkinny source code is released under the BSD-3-Clause license.
Demo
The IOT dashboard example is part of the QSkinny repository and shows a modern UI composed of advanced elements. You are welcome to use it as a starting point for your own project. Try the demo right here in the browser, compiled with Qt for WebAssembly.
Success story
QSkinny is at the heart of the UI display of an agricultural machine. It has proven to successfully make its way from a research project to a key software component in a mass production vehicle. In the future, the customer is planning to use QSkinny for more big scale UI projects.
