Browser Development • Re: Linux Pale Moon with Qt toolkit

My question is: are we proposing to add Qt support, or to replace GTK with Qt?

As it has been stated here before, the idea is to ADD Qt as an alternative for future-proofing, while Gtk will stay both as Gtk2 - even if only for self-building, at some point - and Gtk3.

And to make it clear about he following statement for any readers: Slackware -current ships w/ GTK 1, 2, 3, & 4 and Qt 5 & 6, plus a default install includes a full development suite with everything from gnucobol to ninja, including both python 2 & 3, with gcc version 15.2. (It also has Qt Designer and Glade standard.)

I believe this was meant for the PM developers in the idea that a Slackware setup would allow them to build and test any and all Gtk and Qt versions of Pale Moon before release. At least that's how I saw it, and my apologies if it wasn't right.
