Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

If a big picture mode were to be built into Dolphin, would it use Qt for its GUI or would another library be preferable? 

Definitely not Qt. Personally I've thought about using IMGUI for a big picture mode, but I've never bothered to pursue it.

What feels like forever ago, I started working on a pause screen as a "big picture mode" type ui.  I used imgui but got discouraged because of how ugly it was.

However, the author of another emulator "Duckstation" showed that an imgui ui can be really pretty.  I'd definitely say that would be a good way to go.


The other thing that would be ideal is to put this into Dolphin's "no gui" solution (which unfortunately isn't as maintained, nor is it released in our development builds on the website).
