Just a heads up to anyone out there that is industrious and interested...
Here is an interface that @ickby created in 2014/5 that uses Qt5 actually used qt4 and was based on qml.
The sources are on a branch in his github repo. Will post as a follow up.
Edit:
source (recently updated 6/22/17): https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/comp ... kby:layout

Re: Alternative GUI for FreeCAD
It actually used qt4 and was based on qml. I stopped working on this as qt5 was needed to do real interfaces in qml, and that was not available back than in FreeCAD.
But the code is horrible, I suck at JavaScript

It's for the best, as they say "Be careful what you get good at doin' 'cause you'll be doin' it for the rest of your life."
Re: Alternative GUI for FreeCAD
Either way it's a great proof of concept!

Re: Alternative GUI for FreeCAD
I looked at this video many times, and I'd love to see this revived, now that Qt5 is almost there ...
Re: Alternative GUI for FreeCAD
Is it worth rebasing the branch so if someone out there wants to take a stab at implementing this overlay approach?

Re: Alternative GUI for FreeCAD
I have quite some doubts that this will work after all that time... but out of curiosity I may try that this evening

Re: Alternative GUI for FreeCAD
hah I actually made it work again Needed some hours as the QT5 changes have been significant in FreeCAD master, and most likely I messed quite some things up for qt5, but here we go (qt4 only):
So if someone wants to go on with this the proof of concept is there, and I happily guide you through. But be aware, there is a LOT of work to be done

Could you push the rebase to your github repo?
Also would you consider bullet pointing what would need to be done to get it working on Qt5?
