Hi,
the dock widgets got an update in 5.6 is there any plan to make it possible so i can dock a widget at the center like in visual studio?

Qt

VS

Hi and welcome to devnet,

You can simply not set any central widget and use only QDockWidgets.

Not totally sure Samuel's solution will work. I would actually suggest to set another QMainWindow as central widget so you can have more dock areas even inside but you'll need to do some magic to reparent the dock to the inner QMainWindow
