PyQT/QT Designer Test & Assisstance Needed
 

Hello folks!

So I've created this small UI for the upcoming NITDroid Installer, and I am actually familiarising myself more with QT and believe it or not, I didn't think it is that good!

I generated the proper python layout from the .ui, and created the main.py which would execute the program itself, and everything works super sweet on my Windows PC, but running the main.py launches a rather disturbing result, graphical glitches everywhere, checkboxes out of scale, and the progressbar not appearing.

Can somebody please guide me on what to do next? I have read all documentations here and in the wiki, and from what I got, it should be as simple as python main.py from Xterminal, but apparently, it isn't...

Run NITDroid-Installer.py on your PC, try to run it on your N900, and look at the BIG difference.

bump........

Re: PyQT/QT Designer Test & Assisstance Needed
 

2 bumps in a time interval less than 1 hour? Really?

Re: PyQT/QT Designer Test & Assisstance Needed
 

Ummm...I only see one bump, from 10:11 till 11:09 which is a period of 58 minutes, close enough :P
Yea I understand that this development stuff isn't browsed a lot...

IIRC there is no mobile-optimized Qt widget theme on Harmattan (N9), so some default (desktop ?) theme gets used, with horrible results due to the screen size.

I see basically two possible solutions:

1. Tweak the UI manually until it's usable - some projects have done just that.
2. use QML + Qt Components instead - thats what most people use on Harmattan from both native C++ code and Python.

I am actually trying to get that on the N900, and I guess I should go with option 1. I just need some guru guiding me what should I actually change.

Some minor changes to the ui file.

OMG I was just about to try packing the widgets in layouts, but you did that just now, will try that.

It looks ok with these values:
35)self.groupBox.setGeometry(QtCore.QRect(110, 170, 500, 150))
38)self.checkBox.setGeometry(QtCore.QRect(0, 50, 220, 40))
41)self.checkBox_2.setGeometry(QtCore.QRect(270, 50, 220, 40))

though you might wanna adjust them to your liking.
