Houdini 22 small UI question July 21, 2026, 5:21 p.m.

So this is a limitation of the Houdini implementation?
For historical reasons Houdini has three ways of drawing widgets (traditional Houdini UI library, Qt Widgets, and Qt Quick/QML). They should look essentially the same, though there will be some unavoidable differences in behavior. Where the same type of control looks different in different places, feel free to file a bug, and we will fix the difference if it's possible

You guys did some great work with the UI in this release. Looking forward to what’s to come!
Thanks, appreciate you saying so! I'm excited to get started on the next step, (after a vacation

Traditional Houdini UI vs QML. There are also differences with QtWidgets, even though we made them all look and work the same as much as we could.

Depends on what you mean by "use". Qt only added support for variable axes and font features in Qt 6.7 and 6.6 respectively. The next version of Houdini will upgrade to Qt 6.8, so you'll be able to use them in custom Qt UIs in the next version of Houdini.
