No. The proximity is so obvious, thank you for mentioning it. > Implementing a private non-standard UI has a certain advantage in that > documentation and advice don't involve platform-specific advice. > However, implementing all your own widgets is time consuming and not > easy to get right, not to mention creating some non-painful way to lay > out a UI. A lot of the Hugin code - are custom widgets, e.g. the whole fast preview.

That's an interesting idea, piggy-backing on Blender. It has been about two years since I last used it, and the UI is pretty packed but extremely well done. It takes a while to learn, but it is not difficult. It is not for the occasional user, though. > If I were the designer, I'd make the core graphics and analysis > portable C++/OpenCL and let the UIs be entirely platform specific. Makes sense. Many apps, especially commercial, do this. If you have an example of FLOSS projects that do this we could take a look and learn from them how they do it. So far, my Stackoverflow question [0] has not received any response in that direction. The usual suspects... Qt and wxWidgets, with a vast majority favoring Qt. Will wait for another while. slightly OT: does anybody know what has happened to http://panoverflow.com/ ? It says simply "The website "panoverflow.com" has been disabled.
