MDI with resizable sections

[Cruz]

Hello!

I want to write a program with a GUI that is divided into four tiles. The tiles should be resizable with a "cross" in the middle. For example, ftp clients have typically two tiles, one on the left and one on the right, with a bar in the middle that can be used to shrink the left half and grow the right half.

Is the QMdiArea the right thing to start from? I definately don't need any cascading though. It will always be four tiles and this cross like resizing is an important feature.

I would go for three QSplitter's which you have to synchronize to emulate the "cross" behavior.

It works just like I wanted, but there is one problem. The splitters are only one pixel wide and very hard to grab with the mouse. I'm unable to make the splitters bigger with either using setHandleWidth() or using style sheets

QSplitter::handle {
     background-color: rgb(150,150,150);
     width: 10px;
 }
 
 QSplitter::handle:horizontal {
     background-color: rgb(150,150,150);
     width: 10px;
 }
 
 QSplitter::handle:vertical {
     background-color: rgb(150,150,150);
     height: 10px;
 }

QSplitter::handle {
     background-color: rgb(150,150,150);
     width: 10px;
 }

 QSplitter::handle:horizontal {
     background-color: rgb(150,150,150);
     width: 10px;
 }

 QSplitter::handle:vertical {
     background-color: rgb(150,150,150);
     height: 10px;
 }
