    The problem with the documents are that they are either too basic (yes, i understand that if you press the grid button, everything will be put in a grid), or too advanced (complete with C functions and whatnot).

    I'm a HTML/CSS webdesigner with a basic understanding of Javascript. I have little to zero knowledge of other programming language and I've noticed that if i have a problem with Qt, the answer usually involves changing something in the code.

    Anyway, I've been experimenting with Qt Designer for a whole week, both on my job and at home, and i still have problem manipulating the elements on how i want them. So far the only workaround is to just absolute position everything, but i can't do that for long.

    It's strange that you have an opinion on Qt's documentation if you haven't read it. Anyway, that's how it works -- you read the docs and then verify your knowlege with your own experiments. If you still don't understand something that you feel is important, you visit a forum such as this one and ask a specific question about it.

    Qt is about coding so you shouldn't be surprised

    I have no idea what problems you have so it is hard to suggest a solution. I never had to do any absolute positioning in Qt myself. Everything (well.. almost) can be done with proper understanding of layouts. Tutorials won't teach you that -- you'll only be able to repeat what was done in the tutorial. It's not creative, it's "recreative".

    By the way, fixed positioning is not a solution. Try chainging your system font to a larger one and see how it messes up your UI.
    Your biological and technological distinctiveness will be added to our own. Resistance is futile.

    Please ask Qt related questions on the forum and not using private messages or visitor messages.
