How to create platform independent ui using Qt Designer

[rajeshs]

Hi All,

I designed one dailog using Qt Designer in windows,

I want to use the same Dailog in Linux,

But in Linux my Dailog Elements positions are changed .

Is there any option to get same view in Linux as whatever view i am getting in Windows?

Thank you.

Are you using layouts?

No i am not using Layouts

The whole point is to mimic look'n'feel of the platform in question. Widgets tend to eat slightly different amount of space depending on the platform unless you force same fonts, style etc. on all platforms (which would make your end-users hate you for sure). And to be exact, even if you set exactly the same font, it would still render slightly differently on various platforms because of different font rendering libraries.

Using fixed sizes and locations breaks your forms miserably with different fonts and resolutions than yours or when you decide to localize your application. Qt has a wonderful layout system which makes it possible to handle all this in sensible way so why would you not want to use it?
