UI with Qt #169

Open kleuter opened 7 years ago

kleuter commented 7 years ago

Any plans to re-write UI using Qt in order to have the same (and better) UI & code on all platforms? I'd be happy to help

Update: thanks for the app anyway, just donated.

God please yes.

ZuluCrypt has a qt ui, just for the record: https://github.com/mhogomchungu/zuluCrypt (but I'm not sure how good it is)

BUMP! The current Veracrypt GUI is awful under linux. It needs to be rebuild with a more modern framework like Qt5.

vc1 vc2 vc3 This is from Arch Linux (gtk2 2.24.32, gtk3 3.22.30) and VeraCrypt 1.22 ; and it is impossible to use Volume creation wizard. so I suppose Qt5 will be great.

God bless Qt for VeraCrypt, thanks.

Well, VC uses wxWidgets, which is cross-platform already, I think the bigger problem here is that essentially that's not exactly shared between Linux/MacOS and Windows versions (AFAIU, from just relatively cursory look while debugging something), so instead of moving to Qt it would probably be more beneficial to just sort this out. Or at least sort this out first.

We still need Qt.

cypherbits commented 3 years ago

I don't think we need Qt. It would mean more libraries and potential vulnerabilities.

kleuter commented 3 years ago

@cypherbits getting rid of legacy wxWidgets and replacing it with modern Qt will NOT add extra libraries
