Windows 9x and Word 9x at 800x600 resolution. Spacious. Comfy
You can get this today again using the FOX toolkit (http://www.fox-toolkit.org/). This is probably my favorite lightweight toolkit. Patches gladly welcomed for a11y and Wayland.

GUI for software, not games, but lighter than Qt ?

Windows 95 – How Does It Look Today?
One brave GUI toolkit continues to use the Windows 95 look. Personally I really like that look (or design language, as we're apparently meant to say these days). Clean, high-contrast, and it's clear which widgets are clickable. It has the added bonus that its drawing operations can easily be hard-coded for excellent performance.

Looking for projects to contribute to
Tangentially, I just listened to an old cppcast about https://www.copperspice.com/, a QT fork with ambitions of being more c++-ey.

Worries about QT
There was already a fork of Qt 4. It is tootling along fine: https://www.copperspice.com/

Missing features in modern C++
BTW, CopperSpice sounds pretty close to what you're mentioning: https://www.copperspice.com

Using sigslot as replacement of Qt signals/slots
If you already have a lot of use of Qt your might find CopperSpice to be a reasonable compromisehttps://www.copperspice.com/

15 year .NET vet moving to Linux and C++ and Qt
exactly I'm quite happy to have my code written for me. If you don't like the moc you can use CopperSpice https://www.copperspice.com/

New 3.1.6 release of wxWidgets, free and open source library for creating portable native GUI applications, adding transparent support for high DPI artwork and much more, is now available.
CopperSpice might be worth looking at too. Coming from Qt you're probably going to like it better than wxWidgets.

Qt Creator 6 released
So I strongly dislike Qt. It's got a predatory vision for open source enforcement where they mislead their customers with spoopy language and make it harder and harder to download. In addition, they continue to insist on an architecture that's not even actually C++ (it's got a different grammar) despite it being completely possible to architect a better version of their designs in standard C++.

making a qt fork
See copperspice project. Originally forked to work around short coming of Meta-Object Compilation.
