Re: Qt widgets Improvement

[Marcus Müller]

Hey Marcus and Rohit,

well, but it's what we thought of as GSoC project idea.
So the idea here is definitely not that you design your signal processing in Qt Creator, 
but that you design the graphical frontend to it in Qt Creator, which is a much better 
tool for GUI design than GRC even strives to be.

Cheers,
Marcus M
