Mainline QEMU does not have a skinnable UI and in fact has several different graphical backends (SDL, VNC) which would make this a little tricky to do generically. As an alternative, you could add non-graphical QEMU monitor commands (which are great because you can easily automate and test from scripts!). See qapi-schema.json and docs/writing-qmp-commands.txt. For an example, see the "sendkey" command implemented in monitor.c:do_sendkey(). You can use this command to simulate keypresses like "sendkey ctrl-alt-del". I imagine adding a monitor command is more useful for prototyping and developing than making a custom UI. Stefan
