1. Add a vertical layout into each of the QWidget inside the tab. (You need this for the whole application to resize, anyway)
2. Click on the QWidget (not in the hierarchy!), right click and add a Layout. By this time, the “no entry” icon next to that widget would disappear
3. If you are dynamically adding widgets to the tab during run-time, you have to add to the vertical layout inside the QWidget of that tab.

If I have more time, I would put up a step by step tutoiral.

One problem is IE6 – You need to a fresh install of Windows XP and SP2 to get IE6. Well, that’s troublesome – however, with Virtual PC and VMWare, you can run multiple copies of OS with different builds on your PC. Just make sure for Virtual PC, your intel/amd chip supports virtualization and that it is turned on in BIOS. And you need  a freaking amount of hard-disk space.

1. Locate the QWT web-page at SourceForge
2. Make sure that you download the QWT 5.1.2 version. For some reasons, SourceForge lists the older version 4 first
3. Read the INSTALL file – that pretty much covers what you need to do, but for more control, generate the Visual Studio project files (qmake-msvc vc)
4. Go find the project file in the \src\ folder
5. Complie a release build from it

If all you need is a release build, then this is all fine and good. However, if you want a debug build…

1. Go to project properties, select Debug
2. Go to Linker, General, and add a “_d” to the end of the generated file
3. Complie

Of course, you have to remember set up the input files to the examples (qwt5.lib_d instead of qwt5.lib) for them to work. Now for the goody – you can now complie the plugin (found in the \designer folder) using either release or debug, and even both, since you can have both verisons of QWT existing.

The fnal step is to place the two new dlls (the release one, and your own debug one) into the qt\bin folder. Place the plugin dlls into the \plugins\designer folder. Then this whole thing should work.

Hopefully.

Someone help me, please!

The other advantage,  I have realised, is that Unity3D’s API shares quite a number of similarity with XNA’s Maths library. That will in handy if you are intending to pick up Unity3D later on.

• XNAResources for a tile engine tutorial
• Blue Rose Games for sprites and 3d tutorials
• XNA Development: Game Development for the Masses is a great place to start with 2D programming
• For everything else, there’s Ziggyware

Of course, the Creator Club for XNA has some samples and tutorials worth looking through too.

1. How do I display a custom page as a WordPress Frontpage?
2. How do I get multiple WordPress Loop?
3. How do I select which posts to show and what not to show?

WordPress Custom Frontpage

The documentation is very helpful on defining a custom WordPress front-page. The WordPress Codex states how to do it Meanwhile, other blog-sites I have googled include “Static Frontpage – combined with Dynamic Content” over at MushuBlog. That one has an additional bonuses of telling you how to get posts from different categories and put them in your static frontpage. This leads to our second question – getting our own query loop, and having multiple loops.

Multiple WordPress Loops

The Loop is the mean by which you fetch posts from the WordPress backend database. It turns out that this is such a large issue that it has been fully documented with numerous examples on the WordPress Codex since I have last looked there.

WP Query, the Mysterious Object

WP Query is the mean which you use to retrieve posts. Whie this is also documented in the Codex (WP_Query reference), one thing that is of considerable mystery is what are the queries variables which you can pass in? We know that you can specify the categories, the number of posts, but what else? This piece of article on the codex seems to be comprehensive; worse to the worst, I will download an entire installation of WordPress and examine it with Eclipse PHP

1. Headers. Did you define the headers? Are there adequate padding between the header and the next block of text. This is important when writing long articles.
2. Ordered and Unordered List. Again, are there enough spacing between each of the items?
3. Tables. Kudos for themes which have defined CSS and layout for table elements.
4. Form Styling. I have came across themes with great visual design, but when it comes to HTML form, all the controls (checkboxes, radio buttons) are squeezed tightly together.
5. Default Paragraph Style. No matter how pretty your visual design is, a blog is designed to be read.

So there, after browsing through the themes gallery (made easier with 2.8.1), I have decided on this.
