Programmatic customization

The Maya LT interface is built using the Qt framework. You can create custom UI for Maya LT using Qt Designer. For Windows Qt Designer is installed with Maya LT. For Mac OS X users, you can find Qt Designer directly at the Qt Development Tools web site or you can build Qt from source. Maya LT 2017 uses a version of Qt 5.6.1 that has been modified by Autodesk to include some changes needed by the Maya LT interface. The full, modified Qt 5.6.1 source can be found at http://www.autodesk.com/lgplsource, along with other packages used by Autodesk products.

You can load your custom UI into Maya LT using the loadUI command.
