1 Qt comes with a large range of standard widgets that users of modern

     2 applications have come to expect.

     3 

     4 You can also develop your own custom widgets and controls, and use them

     5 alongside standard widgets.

     6 

     7 It is even possible to provide custom styles and themes for widgets that can

     8 be used to change the appearance of standard widgets and appropriately

     9 written custom widgets.

    12 The example launcher provided with Qt can be used to explore each of the

    13 examples in this directory.

    14 

    15 Documentation for these examples can be found via the Tutorial and Examples

    16 link in the main Qt documentation.
