I am saying that with the Qt layouts we don't achieve the look we want and that the Qt-Designer (as a bonus) is a major PITA, too. Doing it by hand does not fix the shortcomings of layouts and spacers and just adds ugly code. I am not talking about one form with some memos, buttons, etc here and there. We have a highly dynamical GUI in our application, with lots of plugins adding/removing their own GUI-elements at runtime or extending existing GUI-elements. We switched from hand coded GUI to ui-files as the old system just became unmanageable. Once again, this is not about Qt-Designer vs Lazarus' form designer. Layouts are a nice and easy way for simple GUIs, but too restricted for more complex tasks. I would post screen shots of the problems, but I am unfortunately not allowed to do this. But you did not answer my question. Do you have experience with developing complex layouts in Qt or are you just talking about simple stuff?
