So, I have a QDockWidget with 10 widgets inside... but using code, the first thing I do when I start my app is to hide all but one. Still, can't figure out a way to make my dock small. It always takes at minimum the size of all widgets being shown (although they are hidden).

My question(s) therefore is:
- Is remove/add better than hide/show for layout size managing?
- Does the size calculated automatically by the QDesigner (visible inside the .ui file) changes anything about layout size?
