  • 0

I’ve seen sample code that allows one to use PyQT or PySide with QtWebKit to launch a fullscreen browser. I am not familiar with how Qt works. Is it possible to create a web-browser that emulates a Windows 8 Metro-like UI?

I am looking at the following features:

  • right clicking anywhere brings up a sliding panel
  • hotkey combinations reveal transparent sliding panels

Is this possible?

Short of this, is there a sample PySide code that creates a webbrowser with the corresponding toolbar, url bar, menus, etc … ?

    Yes that seems possible.

    To get your application to show fullscreen:

    mainwindow.setWindowFlags(QtCore.Qt.FramelessWindowHint)
mainwindow.showFullScreen()

    Setting up hotkeys and mouse event handling is definitely possible, there are plenty of tutorials online (mouse event handling example).

    For the Metro-like look, you can set widgets’ style using CSS, examples here.
