The the desktop GUIs which QubesOS versions 1 - 3.1 offer are [KDE](https://www.kde.org), as well as [Xfce](https://xfce.org). We are currently migrating towards using [GNOME](https://www.gnome.org). We know some people prefer KDE, however, we believe the overalluser experience of GNOME is more focused on simplicity and ease of use for average non-technical users. Xfce will always be supported, and technical users will always be able to still use KDE or other desktop environments.
This means you should use GTK rather than Qt for new GUIs.
All three desktop environments have their own [human interface guidelines](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_interface_guidelines) and we suggest you familiarize yourself with the platform you developing for.
