16 years ago --- Quote Start --- logicmd, I use windows since Win95 and linux since 1998. I develop opensource software ( ) and I use both opensource and comercial CAD software. I'm sorry but I really no not unserstand your point. Quartus has one of the nicest GUIs out there. And they even use Qt (the best GUI tookit ever). --- Quote End --- amilcar, you mention qt, that's exactly i want to talk about. As I know, qt, as a cross platform GUI system, has a feature to make the GUI of a programme exactly like the local programmes, no matter in win 7 mac os or linux. However the menu style of quartus is not the modern linux style or rather to say it is much more like the windows style. The dark background of menu and toolbar makes it even like win98 or some older version. I don't know GUI of quartus is made by MainWin or Qt. However, if it is made by Qt, it takes a little modification to make it brighter, friendlier and consistent in style with other linux programme. Matlab is better in the aspect. I had installed it in linux and windows.
