Re: Qt Widgets Improvement (was: Help)

[Marcus Müller]

Hi Rohit!

That's quite awesome of you, thank you :) That's giving you an excellent 
headstart.
So, yeah: you probably can see what kind of things are a bit 
"suboptimal" in current qt-gui. You already fixed two :)

The tasks outlined in the project idea are typically a bit broader; so, 
as Andrej wrote down in that task, you will need to improve, extend or 
completely write from scratch some of the C++ in gr-qtgui.

I think we can characterize the things listed there into the three 
categories:

- Adding new widgets
- Improving on existing widgets
- Integration in to QT Creator

Which one of these three would you like to talk about? And if so, what 
are your ideas / opinions on these tasks?

Best regards,
Marcus
