Photoshop-like palettes.

[Valeriy]

Hi all,
I want to create a photoshop-like interface with tool palettes (such as layes, history and others in PS).

For this purpose I use QMdiArea and QMdiSubWindow. I have two problems: I can't make small title bars for tool windows, and after maximising one of non-tool subwindows it covers palettes.

I tried to set Qt::Tool flag for making title bar smaller, but it helps only for top-level windows and has nothing effect for MdiSubWindows.

Thank you for your answers.

Isn't it better to use dock widgets for that?

If user wants only one or two dock widget to be open, it will be much free space on side panel. Photoshop-like panels let use that space.

Aren't they tool windows and not part of the MDI?

Oh yes! The solution was so simple... Thank you. I tried to place palettes as MdiSubWindows instead of making it Qt::Tool window and showing it on top. Thank you again.
