What is the telegram desktop client written in?

Question

User interface

According to the source codes, I realized that the program itself was written on the pluses. And, most likely, the program was written in Qt. But with the help of what means the gui was created, I could not figure it out. I would be grateful for detailed answers and / or links about how all this was created (namely, the desktop version of the client), I am especially interested in gui.

Answer 1

On Qt, it is drawn directly in hardcore through QPainter. In general, the impressions from the code are negative, it is very specific, huge functions, large nesting, don't do it like that. I would recommend writing such custom interfaces in QML, or at least in QtWidgets + QSS.

Answer 2

Telegram Desktop - GitHub

Answer 3

It is absolutely certain that they use Qt for the desktop version.

#include <QtCore/QTimer>
#include <QtGui/QColor>

Answer 4

In the cart, there is a whole combine from different languages, qt/python/c++/h#/bash/vbs, even a batch file was lying around in the project, this is what I saw in a couple of minutes walking around the repository, in general, the devil will break his leg to figure it out.
