In what ways do you want to improve the GUI? I have a little of knowledge of Qt, I can help if you want.

Maybe putting the console output in a console-like widget would look nicer.

The app looks completely functional but UI always helps.
Adding enhancements and placing things where they look perfect could be a great start.
@checor why don't you try out something from your side and share the screenshot? 😄

[checor]

Sure! I will try in the evening.

Seeing your screenshots, I assume this project is for Linux, or does it works on Windows too?

[ashwini0529]

@checor Are you on it?

[checor]

Hello,

Apologies for the delay.

I will try something in the night if you are ok with that.

[checor]

Hello,

Did you made the GUI using .ui files? It would be nice to have them. Or, should I edit the generated files?

[checor]

In case you don't have them, or you don't want to add it to the source, I've done the changes directly to the generated source. Will look like this:

Should I add a font to the resources system, or try to use a font the system had already instaled? I want to use a monospaced font.

The starting page gave me the gist of the package. After looking at the screen I felt the install/update/uninstall screens looked consistent except search option. Why not search on update/uninstall screens? Is the screen not same for all the 3 options with the dynamically changing buttons/data?

@SubhashiniTatipamula You're quite right about the consistency and yes the search bar can surely be added to update/uninstall screens. I didn't add them when I wrote the program because the number of packages in these categories would be significantly less and hence didn't feel much need of a search segment. But if you wish, you can surely add it.

Just chiming in to add this:
On Windows with scaling enabled, the UI is unusable. This is 225%.

At 100% it looks fine again ;)
