It might have been a sort of continuous scrolling column of body editors that I remember being a bit more reactive / animated than regular Qt UI elements. Being fairly used to Qt I don't find it difficult to code in. OTOH maybe a modern browser based GUI system - well, really "HTML" CSS is a lot better than Qt's Stylesheet system I think. With Qt 5.8 breaking the ~= operator it's hard to even emulate CSS classes well. Cheers -Terry > Maybe QML would reduce that learning and coding effort.
