    Default problem of porting from windows to linux

    I have created main window using Qt Designer & put Text edit
    ors & Tree widgets on the same.
    On windows, it fits fine but on linux, where screen size is
    big, thw widgets are not adjusted acordingly & I am
    getting blank space on the bottom of the window.
    How shall I take care of this so that its portable across both
    platforms & widget sizes adjust accordingly.
    Pls help.

    Regards
    Jyoti

    Have you use layouts ?

    You should put your widgets in the layout in such a way that even if you window is resized, either your widgets should also resize (to fill in the spaces) or they should move(so that the spacing is proportionate).

    No I have not used layouts.
    Do I need to use the same.

    In designer:
    Open context menu on the background of the main window, choose Lay out-> and select one of the layout options (eg. Lay Out in a Grid).

    Use spacers, nested layouts and/or play with widgets' size policies if you're not satisfied how the widgets are laid out.
