Thank you for the valuable feedback Jurgen. Do you think perhaps you can checkout Qt? If you have experience in C#, then it's just a matter of learning a new toolkit. With QtCreator, you can checkout KStars code from GIT and start checking the UI files (e.g. capture.ui) and then check capture.cpp how how the items are shown in there. Perhaps you can come up with a smart way to adapter the interface dynamically depending on the state and selected device. Hi Jasem,
Not sure if I will become so much familiar with Qt to make my contributions, but at least I will have a deeper look on it - perhaps this could really work. Do you have some „communication channels“ for development? And what about some prototyping tools? For my iOS development I used Sketch and for prototyping at work (windows development) we are using Adobe XD in the company where I’m working - this is not the best choice I think. Today I would prefer Figma. The benefit of this is that you can change the UI and discuss all things until everybody is happy, the huge benefit is the possible discussion to come to a really good UX and when you have a prototype this is the blueprint for development. I think we could show the changes in the forum…. I know this process takes a little bit more time, but it can really make a huge difference, because while prototyping the small changes are done really fast and when prototyping is finished the developer(s) really know what to do and this makes development really much faster - most developers don’t have the „feeling“ for UX design decisions and are concentrated on the solution - this is another learning curve. :-) Because several years ago I was also not so much concerned about UX I really know what I’m talking about. Not sure, if this could fit in the workflow of the rest of the team, however.

We do have online chat here: https://webchat.kde.org/#/room/#kstars:kde.org Though it's best to send emails to kstars mailing list: https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kstars-devel You can download QtCreator as well for MacOS and build KStars there. There is a script for this purpose: https://github.com/rlancaste/kstars-on-osx-craft Might take a little bit to get everything up and running. I know there is a lot of work that can be done to improve the UI, so any input and contributions are greatly appreciated. Okay, Jasem,
Just downloaded QtCreator and it looks interesting (although it seems to have some incompatibility with macOS Monterey). I will spend some time to bring everything to work on my Mac and will do some investigations. Perhaps this is not so different from my other projects, at least I’m really excited about it. We will see, if I can manage this beside my other activities and regular work, but this depends on Qt for me.
Best regards,
Jürgen
