Trolltech has promised some interesting things for Qt 4, among them:
"Modern consumer-style user interfaces
Driven by consumer electronic devices such as mobile phones and PDAs,
desktop applications are moving away from standard widgets and styles
towards more customized user interfaces. Qt 4 will support this modern
user interface approach through its powerful style system as well as
with flicker-free refreshes and transparency for all built-in and
custom widgets. "
Be interesting to see just what they mean by 'flicker-free refreshes'.
