Hi @Beniamin, and welcome!

Qt Widgets were designed for traditonal desktop or office style applications. For a modern automotive cluster, I would recommend Qt Quick (QML). See here for some demos:

• http://blog.qt.io/blog/2018/06/27/introducing-qt-automotive-suite-5-11/

(Note: The Qt Automotive Suite is a commercial product)

Just wondering, what car(s) will your software run in?

I prefer to choose QML ,It is easy to design the UI

To get started, it is easier to learn Qt by building Desktop applications. After you have a few weeks' experience, you can start transferring your Desktop projects to your embedded targets.

Good luck!
