    How it looks like:
    alt text

    About my PC:
    alt text

    About QT:
    Qt Creator 3.5.1 (opensource)
    Based on Qt 5.5.1 (GCC 4.9.1 20140922 (Red Hat 4.9.1-10), 32 bit)

    I have no idea how to fix it.

      @Juanborgesv This is most probably an issue with your graphics driver. Try to start QtCreator on the command line with "-noload Welcome" parameter. If it helps go to "Help/About Plugins..." and disable the Welcome plug-in. See here http://doc.qt.io/qtcreator/creator-faq.html

        @jsulm When I tried to open Qt Creator by Terminal using "qtcreator" command the terminal said Qt Creator wasn't installed, i don't know why It said that but whatever. So I had to install it by typing "sudo apt install qtcreator" and problem solved. Thanks anyways!

          Hi and welcome to devnet,

          That's because the installer does not install anything in your system's paths. You need to use the full path to the version of Qt Creator you go with the online/offline installer.

            @Juanborgesv As @SGaist said you just need to use the whole path to the QtCreator executable. Now you installed QtCreator from your distribution which is for sure older, but if its OK for you, you can keep using it.
