    DM> I was thinking QT myself for a future cross-platform replacement for the   
    DM> Synchronet control panel (sbbsctrl) for Windows. But when attempting (in   
    DM> QT) to recreate the same 4-main panel docksite interface we have to today   
    DM> in sbbsctrl, I wasn't successful. I do plan to take another stab at that   
    DM> in the future. Also considering using wxWidgets.   
      
   I like QT, althought the UI building is probably my least favourite part. I'm   
   not too familiar with the sbbsctrl program (I've seen it a couple of times but   
   don't really remember it) but it might be you have to make a widget if none of   
   the ones that come with do it right.   
      
   WxWidgets is also good. I used it for a gopher client I wrote back a while   
   ago, I wasn't aware there was a GUI builder, but apparently there is.   
      
   WxWidgets might be a little easer with license requirements, as with qt only   
   the currently supported releases are available as opensource, KDE kept a fork   
   of qt5 to apply patches as they only just have upgraded to qt6, but that   
   doesn't help much on windows. Though I imagine a synchronet control panel   
   would be much easier to keep up with QT, than an entire desktop environment :P
