Windows laf
Message 1 in thread
Do I need to do anything special to get the Windows look-and-feel?
The MDI application we've been developing differs from Windows in
several ways.
The font size and spacing of entries in menus looks different (the
entries are spaced much closer together than in Windows apps).
Font size in window titles is also smaller than expected.
The status bar looks different as well. The text in the QLabels is
partially cutoff at the bottom of the window and the vertical separators
between QLabel fields looks different (not the raised look).
I thought I'd see if there were some general settings I needed to use in
the build before trying to address these one-at-a-time.
We're using Qt 4.1.0 on Windows XP. and Visual Studio 2005.

This one I wasn't aware of.

Some (but maybe not all) of these issues has been fixed in Qt 4.2 if I'm
not mistaken. You'll probably have to contact the Trolltech help desk to
investigate and the rest and have it fixed.
