What's New in Qt Designer?

This version of Qt Designer has a great deal more functionality than its predecessor. The code for custom slots can be edited directly in Qt Designer; main windows with actions, toolbars and menus can be created; layouts that incorporate splitters can be used; plugins allow you to package any number of custom widgets and make them available to Qt Designer; dialogs can be created dynamically from .ui files. Qt Designer incorporates many other enhancements from small improvements in the user interface to improved efficiency, for example the ability to share pixmaps across all the forms in an application.
