    I started with Qt4, and i started with the designer. I always had problems with the designer-generated UIs, i could not handle them. So i mainly use it now to visualize what i want to do and then hardcode it. One problem with generated widgets i had was that they never adjusted their size to the widget or mainwindow that contained them.

    It's a matter of installing a top-level layout on the form. Deselect child widgets and choose a layout from the Form-menu (or context menu or toolbar).
