Roadmap Development for 2026

Qt.C++

Qt is our primary development platform. We invest in building high-quality components to meet enterprise needs.

Component Styling

• Development of a new QtStyle based on Microsoft's official Windows UI kit | Figma for QtWidgets, PySide6 apps.
• All new styles are created exclusively in Figma
• Adobe XD is not used for creating new styles, but is supported in b>DC Studio Tool
• Use of DC Studio Tool for conversion: Figma → XML → QtStyle
• Application of the style to key components: RibbonBar, DataGrid, NavigationUI, Docking, Charts, and to all widgets belonging to the QtWidgets family.

Large Data Support in QtitanDataGrid

• Implementation of the On-Demand Data concept — deferred data loading only when needed, with support for sorting and grouping
• Introduction of two signals:
  • FetchGroupRows — request for group header rows
  • FetchRows — request for data rows within a specific group

QtitanRibbon Enhancement

• Redesign of the ribbon customization dialog
• Improved layout: user-selectable 2-rows or 3-rows button arrangement

QtitanNavigationUI Expansion

• Addition of controls to enable the bentoUI concept

QtitanDocking and QtitanChart Refinement

• Full QtStyle support
• Fixing identified issues
• Incremental addition of user-requested features

DC Studio Tool

Continuing active development of a tool for creating and managing UI templates and layouts.
Its purpose is not to replace Figma or Adobe XD, but to accurately convert design into code for multiple platforms.

• Main goal for 2026: complete alpha testing, move to beta testing, and release a full version 1.0
• Primary focus: deep support for key Figma capabilities required for industrial UI design:
  • Components and variants
  • Built-in property editors (auto-layout, constraints, padding)
  • Component inheritance (instances with override support)
  • Component states (hover, pressed, disabled, and custom states)
• Strategic objective: achieve pixel-perfect export of Figma layouts into declarative XML suitable for integration into styling systems
• Feasibility assessment of adding support for Sketch files will be conducted

WinUI 3 / .NET Styling Experiment

Exploring the ability to apply Figma-based design systems to WinUI 3 applications.
Goal: evaluate how styling approaches can be unified between Qt and .NET.

• Experiment with customizing standard WinUI 3 controls based on Figma designs
• Analysis of Qt-style model equivalents in the .NET ecosystem
• Testing technical feasibility of using XML artifacts (generated by DC Studio Tool) to produce XAML resources or themes
• Target: visual consistency with Windows UI Kit without performance loss

Delphi

Evaluating the integration of Figma-based design systems into Delphi applications.
Focus: using common styling formats (e.g., XML) to ensure visual consistency.

• Research on applying XML-based styles (from DC Studio Tool) in VCL and FireMonkey applications
• Identifying a minimal common format for colors, spacing, fonts, and metrics
• Compatibility validation with existing enterprise Delphi solutions
