It must be because it must be finger usable and most of desktop UI paradigm is 
based 
on mouse use.

We should not mix two things. Maemo 6 widgets are based on new QGraphiscview 
based
widget set and that's different than Maemo 5 widget set that is based on 
enhaged Qt desktop widget set.

You can see video of Maemo 5 widgets here. Only bad thing in this video is that 
they are
using stylus, i have not used mine with N900 in many months because it is not 
needed
with finger optimized widgets.

It works fine. It converts a .ui to a .cpp, which you can then cross
compile for your device. I do know that it's different precisely
because I've been doing this stuff myself, as has Marcin and others.

In Qt 4.6, there are only 7 Maemo5-specific classes, and 2-3 of those
aren't widgets. Those that are, aren't something which will be used
everywhere. Meaning that for most dialogs, you probably *will* be able
to use Designer, if you keep in mind how e.g. QMenuBar appears on
Maemo, etcetera.

I said all of this in my original mail.

a similar tool exist for Python too, I'm aware of it, but it's not
supporting Maemo at all.
I hope you know that Maemo UI is quite differente from the desktop Qt version.

There aren't only QtButton, QtDialog, QtLabel ecc... in a user interface.
Maemo has its own widget and there's no way (at the moment) to have a
real preview of them.

If you have seen the recently published video on youtube, showing
Maemo 6 widgets, you surely have noticed that Qt developers are
showing Maemo support in QtCreator, but it's not ready/published at
the moment.

Look into using uic to compile them instead of loading them at
runtime, see http://doc.trolltech.com/4.6/uic.html

as far as I know, to load a .ui file you need to have libtools-qt
installed. They have been removed from the latest Qt4 that are
available in Maemo and there aren't any plans to include them again.
I know, this is crazy, but it's exactly what Qt guys told me!

Well, provided that you can test frequently or imagine how it will
look knowing how e.g. QMenuBar is integrated, then yes, it's possible
if you stick to base Qt widgets. Obviously, using things in QMaemo5*
is going to be difficult.

O, rly?

My player [1] has UI created with Qt Designer. It has separate QMainWindows 
which are stacked, supports screen rotation (old way - need to update) etc. In 
one codebase I have support for Maemo5 (two windows) and desktop (one window) 
UI.

keep in mind that you cannot use QtDesigner to design a UI for Maemo yet.

Hi,

Take a look at Qt Creator, and/or Qt Designer.
