Hi dxli,

I've been trying to compile LibreCad from Source for the first time and it was successfull! So I am happy that I can implement and test my possible GUI enhancements for LibreCad and other playing.

I've already thought about new GUI icons and some GUI functionality enhancements. I tried to add my own redesigned icons (just two) to my first compilation of LibreCad, but I am not satisfied with them - it was just the first try design. I would like to design some drafts by weekend and post them here (or to dev topic) for possible discussion.

I tried something in Qt year ago, so I am little familiar with Qt and C++ and so I think there is no need to re-compile LibreCad via emscripten-qt to HTML5. It would be interesting to try LibreCad as WebApp but I think browsers aren't still good "OS" for a CAD software like LibreCAD (need to be online, need to have opened browser, speed and cross-browser compatibility issues, etc.).

On the other hand I quickly looked at possibilities of using HTML5 in Qt through QtWebEngine and currently I've found possible use for some summaries, infos, maybe some previews via canvas, or some drawing sharing possibilities etc. But it's first shot ideas deeper learning would be necessary.

Sorry for my English, I haven't used it for a long time so if there was something unclear, please ask :-) I will try to explain it better
