The editor is based on Qt™ Designer, a tool for designing and implementing user interfaces created by Trolltech. We have modified Qt™ Designer in the following ways:
Its interface is much simpler
Built in our own widgets
Added the ability to setup Kommander Text
Various other superficial changes
For those of you already familiar with using Qt™ Designer, using the Kommander Editor will be trivial.
