A Desktop UI with Qt Quick
summary
An eight year old CTI desktop app (tku client) is rewritten from QWidget to Qt Quick, converting the heavy QMainWindow and custom widgets into QML ListView delegates, repeater and loader patterns and C++ back-end models (QObject / QAbstractItemModel). Replacing a week of QWidget fiddling with about two days of QML work yields a functioning, animated dashboard with better keyboard and touch navigation, smoother drag repositioning, fewer popup clutter issues (12-item menu), and guidance to keep business logic in C++ and presentation in QML.
