Hi, I’m a beginner, and I would like to ask how to develop my own GUI for Slicer.

Thanks, pieper. This is helpful, but I would like to know how to modify the interface using C++.

You should learn the application first using python - once you know that, everything is basically the same in C++. If you already know C++ and Qt it won’t be hard, but since most people don’t know C++ it’s much more efficient to start in Python.
