Qt Project to implement Qt Creator's SideBar (FrancyTabBar)

If you have trouble with that, then - no offense - you should be more concerned with your coding abilities than the gui of your application! Off course you have to extend SOURCES and HEADERS with the includes from fancytabwidget.cpp and so on since you don't use it as a library.

Yes I decided to step foward in looking into C++ sources, and sucessfuly made it work. Still, I had to modify the background, because the two rgb returned black colors, resulting a black background for the fancytabwidget. I had to look into the StyleHelper Class to make my own Gradient, and sucessfuly made it work. Thanks Lykurg

The user can change the background color at any time. See: FancyColorButton::mousePressEvent()

I've implemented the sidebar using empty widget and several pushbuttons styled with stylesheets:

• layout widget vertically
• all buttons are checkable
• last button is disabled and its vertical size policy is set to 'expanding' and it contains no text (its role is to decorate sidebar)
• implemented rules for QPushButton normal state and 'hover', 'checked', 'disabled' pseudo-classes

And there is no icons in sidebar...

Also I created function to make sure that only one of the buttons is checked:

void MainWindow::switchButtons(QPushButton *b) { // called when button is clicked
	if (b != selectedButton) {
		selectedButton->setChecked(false);
		selectedButton = b;
	}
	else
		selectedButton->setChecked(true);
}

void MainWindow::switchButtons(QPushButton *b) { // called when button is clicked
	if (b != selectedButton) {
		selectedButton->setChecked(false);
		selectedButton = b;
	}
	else
		selectedButton->setChecked(true);
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode
