text fields and buttons are displayed incorrectly WIN11 Qt Creator 4.12.3

kendo

I was very happy with Qt Creator 4.12.3 on WIN 8.1.
Now i switched to WIN 11.

In the Forms are not displayed good.

The Textfields and Buttons are very smal

Designed this way:

@kendo To me it looks like you did not apply a layout to the central widget of your main window.

kendo

@jsulm Thanks!

oh yeah, where is a warn icon in the central widget. But I couldn't see the description of that worning.
It's the same on the WIN8.1 environment, but the displaying of the form is o.k.

What can I do?

That is "fortuitous".

What can I do?

Umm, set a layout on it....

What Qt version do you use? Looks like Hi-DPI issues.

Yes, the Screen is 3K

But the other guys are right, I didn't care enough about the layout!
This is the result now.
So I have to close the educational gap.

I'll look for a good tutorial!

I mean the Qt version you use for compilation, not the one your IDE is built with (which the About dialog explitly states...)

@kendo
Looking at your screenshot you seem to have 2 form layouts and one horizontal layout. None of them are within a layout themselves, so I think you are "fortunate" that the two form layouts are positioned horizontally and the buttons layout below them.

I think you want your central widget to be a vertical layout, and to have:

vertical layout (central widget)
    horizontal layout (just for the form layouts)
        form layout  (Server)
        form layout  (Log)
    horizontal layout (buttons)

and you'd better move that count sitting all on his own there :)

The Tutorial that helps, was:

The "corpus delicti " was the missing layout of the top level Widget.

Now it looks like

Thanks everyone for your motivation

@kendo To make it clear for the future: @Christian-Ehrlicher asked you which Qt version you are using! What you are showing is the Qt version which was used to build QtCreator...
You should know what Qt version you installed, you can also check the Qt version in QtCreator configuration in "Kits" tab.
