System Tray

After a lot of hard work trying to figure out how Qt , C++, Eclipse, Linux & Windows can work together without killing each other, I've finally come to the very first version of the gems program.




It's just the systray interface, but it helps me understand how Qt works and which are its possibilities. The things I've seen from Qt really look amazing, and I feel I've just scratched the surface. I wish I had more time to spend on the graphic issues and get deep into OpenGL support of Qt. Imagine desktop widgets/gadgets based on OpenGL...

I've also established contact with the main developers of Superkaramba with the idea of studying the multiplatform environment and, maybe in the future, help them adapt Superkaramba to any platform supported by Qt.

These days I came across a lot of different technologies that I really like to deeply understand so as:

-CVS: Concurrent Versions System. A revision control system, popular for open source and commercial software development. I knew CVS already, but I never had enough time to use it properly.

-KDevelop: A free software integrated development environment for the KDE desktop environment for Unix-like computer operating systems.

-Eclipse: A software platform comprised of extensible application frameworks, tools and runtimes for software development and management, primarily written in Java. Its primary use is as an integrated development environment (IDE).

In future posts, I promise some Windows based screenshots :-)
