Hello,

I am new to Qt Embedded platform with less than a month of experience on Qt Desktop on linux. So far coded a decent main window application for desktop and ported to embedded arm. Now I am looking forward to learn designing graphical menus and display frontends.

My new hobby application would be an OSD that acts as the front end for a media player that uses mplayer for playing videos. Imagine an interface to control the video like volume, position, etc.

The question is, can I build such application on Qt Embedded which would give me a glossy interface with 2D graphics and optionally 3D menus (using Qt libraries or OpenGL ones). The main thing is to get transparency of the interface when a video is being played in the background (using mplayer in my case).

Target: Beagleboard XM

Please pour in your valuable comments.
If you know any good book to start with please post in the name of the book.
By the way, I have already started reading from Jasmin Blanchette's Qt4 second edition
Any free online stuff will also do.

Thanks in advance.
