If you want to make a nice looking desktop app there are only 2 games in town:

- the native platform framework. - electron/web

As much flack as slack gets for example it looks 50x better than any QT, GTK, Java, or WxWidgets app I’ve ever seen.

Another thread here was talking about how they WxWidgets to make an app that looked native on each platform with a small binary.

Unfortunately not a single one of these screenshots looks like it belongs in a modern desktop. https://www.wxwidgets.org/about/screenshots/
