Hi Rabaf,

Welcome to the forum.

Have you downloaded the patch for 5th edition SDK. If you are using a 5th edition SDK than you have to replace a file for the correct rendering of the font.

You can get the patches for 3rd and 5th edition from [URL="http://pepper.troll.no/s60prereleases/patches/"]here[/URL]

Second thing regarding the form background, In Qt garden basic UI theme is used means the theme of the emulator that you are using thats why it looks like no background.

hope this hepls you.

Regards.

Lajal, i am not using 5th edition as you may have not noticed from the screenshot that was provided to you.

using 3rd fp2 which is not requiring any patches :P

in my frnd's pc the form background is coming even in garden you know.can any intelligentent person comment please,sir. would be thankful.

i have just started qt for s60 but i only know on windows

Hi,
Thats true 3rd edition fp2 does not require any patches.
Which sdk is there in your friends pc?
Are you trying the same code?
Regards.

I find it always helps to actually look at the screenshots people post before answering...

It appears that you have a fixed size window/control that you've created and so it isn't covering the rest of the screen (hence you can see the rest of the background). In Temple this was fairly normal - in Garden, the main window (i.e. QMainWindow?) of your application should be maximized (not full-screen, still showing the status pane and soft keys) by default, unless you have explicit setSize() calls of some kind.

Hope that helps,
Mark

hi
I think that the 2nd post by james1980 is true that is

and if you want to visualize the background then you can use the stylesheet of the Qwidget to set the background color and make background visualize...

Hope This helps you

Hi,

Please note that Qt_for_S60 AND S60_SDKs install instructions clearly state that you should read the docs, and check the examples (at least superficially).

If you look into some Qt examples you will already see many tips on how to improve the UI appearance on the devices, for example:

#ifdef Q_OS_SYMBIAN
myWindow.showMaximized();
#endif

I don't know what's your background (.Net? Java?) but in Qt you really need to "put your hands in the dough". The code "snippet" that I wrote above will already improve your application a lot, and we're not even talking about themes yet... so please just take the trouble to read a little bit more ;)
Good luck, respected sir.
