Wireshark Qt Port

Goal : Wireshark currently uses the GTK toolkit. An initial port to Qt (aka QtShark) has begun but there is lots of work to do. There are also many opportunities to take Wireshark's user interface to the next level. If you have an idea for a better way to implement one of Wireshark's current features or for a great new feature this is the place to propose it.
