Screenshots look very promising!

Maybe implement Marina or Reflect as the theme for the QML version? Just create the reference files for the required graphics and let me or someone else fill them out for the actual graphics as AFAIK you can't really copy-paste the Nokia licensed Alpha or Beta theme graphics. It's too bad QML doesn't support system wide look-and-feel, but any theme should be better than the single-color contour buttons. You might need to use a "sliding door" technique for the buttons themselves, or just use make the each size use individual images :)

The purpose of QML is to enable applications to have a distinctive appearance, so it makes sense to not support the OS look and feel. QML doesn't use widgets, the buttons are created by declaring a rectangle with a child mouse area e.g:

Code:
Rectangle {

    property alias icon: icon.source
    property alias iconWidth: icon.width
    property alias iconHeight: icon.height
    signal buttonClicked

    id: button
    width: 150
    height: 50
    radius: 10
    color: mouseArea.pressed ? "#3399bb" : "black"
    border.width: 2
    border.color: "#3399bb"
    Image {
        id: icon
        anchors.centerIn: button
        width: 50
        height: 50
        smooth: true
    }
    MouseArea {
        id: mouseArea
        anchors.fill: button
        onClicked: buttonClicked()
    }
}
The only images I use for push buttons atm is the icon. I did try some gradient images which looked OK, but I'm no graphic designer. I am more than happy to consider any suggestions on this aspect of the application.

Any images that are used in the application are quite easy to change, as they are located in a ui-images folder, so it is my intention to make the application easy to skin. :)

QML looks seems comprehend-able even to me, so I might as well look into the UX when you release the source. Does cuteTube need to be compiled in the Nokia's QT Creator in order to test it?

Not in its current state. It can be tested using QMLViewer, which you can install on the device. In the release version, it should still be possible to run it using QMLViewer, but any features that rely on C++ code will not be accessible.

I wonder if one could program a simple cutetube desktop-widget...

Hi your app is the best. Can you please add the option to see the star ranking of the vids?. Beacause i realy miss that from youtube and now from your app. I just want to see the star ranking before play a video (in the list of searched videos).


Thanks in advance.

The star ratings are deprecated and will eventually be removed from the XML feeds supplied by the YouTube API, therefore I will be sticking to the like/dislike system. I think the ratings are worthless, anyway. Too many trolls and fanboys.

The like/dislike system of youtube isn't bad. But i can not see in the video list if the videos are good. That would be usefull because a lot of videos are just spam (spam = low rating). That's why i use the 0.9.9-7 version of your excellent app. A temporal opcion is fine for me.

Thanks in advanced.

Update: I've been tweaking the new UI, and have shifted all menu functions to a permanently visible menu bar to reduce clicks. I've also changed the buttons. The top area will be used for notifications (download status etc).
