    There are three parts to make an run a app....

    1. The SDK 2. The Binary Runtime 3. The AES Hash Key

    You code your application with the SDK.

    The runtime you have to configure and build on skypes servers, it will only work with the options
    and platform you choose there and it only works with the generated hash key.

    So basically Windows, Linux, Mac, Arm, Mips all have to have a different binary runtime, each
    app is also suppose to only use the runtime that you register'd for it.

    Your hash key is only good for 60 days and each app needs that in it's directory to work.

    The binary runtime isn't a full-fledged skype client it's more of a command-line version and
    yes it has to run in the background.

    I thought that them making you pay for the sdk and then telling you that your not allowed
    to make certain types of apps was kinda stupid.

    Put this in your MainWIndow stylesheet:

    @QMenuBar {
    background-color: rgb(55, 37, 255);
    }

    QMenuBar::item {
    spacing: 3px; /* spacing between menu bar items */
    padding: 1px 4px;
    background: transparent;
    border-radius: 4px;
    }

    QMenuBar::item:selected { /* when selected using mouse or keyboard */
    background: #a8a8a8;
    }

    QMenuBar::item:pressed {
    background: #888888;
    }@

    It's been said a number of times that Qt isn't going anywhere and that there are upcoming things yet to be announced that may leverage its technology in the future. The mysterious "future disruptions." I see no reason to doubt any of that. Might as well take those that are saying it at their face value until there's a compelling reason not to.

    IMHO, the way things have been happening, I think that if Qt were going to be dumped outright, we'd be seeing more dumping going on already. All indications seem to be that there are still Trolls hard at work.

    It's a shame we still have to wonder about future of Qt on Nokia platofrms, having in mind that much time invested in both parts (Nokia and 3rd party developers), but well money talks!
    I have strong doubts about this future... Too bad!

    I have released a Qt app in Ovi store (the first and only I ever release anywere). I don't know the numbers but i think it's increasing. Some time ago I read on the web (don't remember where) that Nokia keeps screet from exact number of Ovi apps, don't know if that changed.

    Ohoo, I'd like to share a drink with you and argue over everything you want, really but I cannot participate to the Qt Contributors Summit! At work I used to develop with Java (it's a bank's partnership company, so they look at Qt like the devil) an my company cannot be a sponsor for me, in addition I'm not really a contributors for the Qt framework (be a Qt Ambassador is not enough, maybe), so I don't have any invitation.
    If you would like to visit Florence in the future, I will offer you a beer!! :-)

    [quote author="Volker" date="1305147549"]I'm sorry to say so, but open source community fails miserably in this "market" with Pidgin (and other libpurple based clients like Adium on the Mac) being just one of them. [/quote]
    No need to be sorry. It's just the plain truth that there is no generally usable FOSS solution for this type of communication. One could say the community sucks at it, one could also conclude that the community doesn't care enough because there is a half decent free program available (i.e. Skype). We'll see what happens when, if it will happen at all, Skype is no longer a viable alternative on Linux.

    Obviously a skype like program should have the use-case of the grandparents/grandkids as a starting point. Ease of use is what is important.

    You might do so. But do not expect other readers here to help you with real problems then. Once douche, always a douche...
