Title: changing qt wallet design?
Post by: freebitcoins4u on June 27, 2016, 06:23:39 AM
hey all, i dont know if someone every thought about it, but how about making it easy for people to change their qt wallet (or lite wallet) design?
i think it will be very cool if people will be able to change the background of the wallet like pc desktop or phone wallpaper.

It's open source, you can always create a fork on github and implement a themed design ;)
You can even ask the developers, altough i very much doubt anybody would be willing to spend time on a themed design, they all seem to be focussed on functionality...

That being said, i to think the design of the QT wallet is a bit dated, but i personally don't really care as long as i can do everything i need to do in a safe way...

The developers are not very good designers and only make the GUI in such a way that can be used, but may not provide the best user experience. If you can make it better or add themes, then please do and submit a pull request.

The plan is that we have a simple webinterface (PHP-based) where we enter the receiver, the amount, the username (will correspond to the name of the wallet file) and the wallet password. The script would then send the data to bitcoin-qt (or whatever we use) which will then execute the transaction. Also, it should be possible to view the amount of BTC that each wallet has (After entering the password of course).

So, you basically want to create a web wallet service? It's a pretty easy thing to do by using bitcoind's json-rpc connection. Do be carefull about your security tough!
Offcourse, bitcoind will need to be running as a daemon, and only one wallet file can be opened at a time.
