    Exclamation Q7Goodies - Windows 7 features for Qt

    Hello Qt Community,

    I'd like to introduce you Q7Goodies: a new Qt add-on, that adds Windows 7 features to your application. It integrates seamlessly with existing applications by encapsulating complexity and using Qt design patterns and API style. You can use: jump list, taskbar thumbnails, thumbnail toolbar and more in a Qt way with just a few additional lines of code.



    Jump List - Your application's own start menu.



    Tabbed Thumbnails - Any widget displayed as a separate thumbnail.



    Thumbnail Toolbar - Quick access to key commands.



    Thumbnail Progress Bar - Progress information that's always visible.



    Overlay Icon - Status or notifications directly on the taskbar.


    It doesn't add runtime dependency on Windows 7 libraries (DLLs), so software incorporating Q7Goodies can be run on older Windows version. Q7Goodies comes with the full source code and a commercial royalty-free license.

    We just created and uploaded an evaluation version of Q7Goodies. This version has the same features as the full one but it works only for 30 days and appends the 'Q7Goodies' string to window title, jump list entries, taskbar thumbnail title, etc.

    The evaluation version contains dynamic and static libraries for both: Microsoft Visual C++ and MinGW (QtCreator). There are also two demo applications and their source code. The header files are self-contained, it means that you don't need to install the Windows 7 SDK.

    Ok, where to download it? Just go to the demos section.
