QT Creator IDE customization
-
Hello,
I just started using QT Creator and have 2 questions on IDE:- How do I add extra space between text lines in source code editor (lines in editor are too close to each other for me, making it hard to read program code);
- I played a bit with styles.css to customize appearance of IDE, but could not find a way to identify class names for some of GUI controls in IDE, specifically that toolbar with "Filter Tree", "Synchronize with Editor", etc. (this line is right below main menu)
Thank you very much in advance for your help,

Hi!
You should ask this question here: http://forum.qt.io/category/13/tools -
Hi and welcome to devnet,
No need for double-posting, just ask one of the moderator to move the thread for you :)
As for your problems:
- I'm not aware of a settings you can modify from Qt Creator directly for that (I might have missed it though)
- The most simple way to find their names is to look at the code of Qt Creator, you can get it from git here
Hope it helps

It probably explains why there are so little qtcreator themes/styles.css out there. I found nice darcula at github, but needed to modify it for 4k monitor (note that I'm running qt from msys2 under windows 10). Strange qtcreator IDE devs did not create such image to help beginners.

Such image ? What do you mean ?

The thing is: Qt Creator is not Qt but builds on top of Qt. It's not just a QMainWindow + a QToolBar, each element is a complex widget. That's why I recommend to take a look at the sources. You can also use GammaRay to analyze the application.

Not sure how to add image here, but I put a question on stack overflow to visually explain my question. Thank a lot for your help!

Ok, something's clearer now. You should take a look at the High DPI documentation and check whether following the steps there, you can get a better rendered application.
