GUI for software, not games, but lighter than Qt ?
it's a fork of https://github.com/libRocket/libRocket which was started a long time ago.

Best engine/tools to make games that are purely UI?
I've found libRocket to be a great UI library paired with SDL2 and OpenGL. It allows you to use a subset of html and css to design your UI, while handing rendering off to the renderer of your choice. This gives you the flexibility to add advanced visual effects during the rendering step.

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.

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

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.
