I installed libxcb-cursor and the problem is solved, thanks a lot !

For the purpouse of people who might search for an find this forum post, I put in a request with QT support and received the following.

Hi Joe,

Thank you for contacting Qt Support and for providing your sample project.

There are 2 broad ways to specify the fragmentShader property, depending on which version of Qt you want to target:

The Qt 5 way is to specify the shader's source code as a string. The Qt 6 way is to pre-compile your shader source code into a .qsb file, and specify a URL to that .qsb file

See:

https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qml-qtquick-shadereffect.html#fragmentShader-prop https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qml-qtquick-shadereffect.html#fragmentShader-prop

To do it the Qt 5 way, the easiest approach is to copy the contents of your .frag file and paste it as a string literal (surrounded by quotation marks) to the RHS of the "fragmentShader" property.

To do it the Qt 6 way, run the QSB tool to compile your shader source code. Unfortunately, the code of colour_wheel.frag is too old to be supported by QSB (for example, the "varying" keyword was deprecated long ago, and even removed for ES profiles)

See:

https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qtshadertools-overview.html https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qtshadertools-qsb.html

I hope this helps.

@AndrzejB said in How make ui controls expandable?:

I try QHBoxLayout but not works.

What does not work? How do you use it?

To use a splitter select both widgets which you want to separate with the splitter and then select "Lay Out Horizontaly in Splitter" (or Vertically) in top tool bar.

I suggest this slightly outdated video series: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aV6kFxH3Xws
This is also a tutorial that covers a larger number of features: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pEETxSxYazg

Did you try the tutorial from the documentation (https://doc.qt.io/qtdesignstudio/qtdesignstudio-loginui1-example.html)?

@afalsa same here

Customizing Controls is a complicated topic. I would personally always use the File Wizard Control Templates, they are the easiest to customize as a Designer.

i have the same problem ...
if you have education license you can sign in to your qt account and download qt-license file and save it to home directory this worked for me.
