Dear Madam, Sir,

currently I am a Borland/Inprise Delphi (Pascal) user and I am 
evaluating Qt-creator as the next development IDE for our C++ projects.

I found some things in Qt-creator which do not work as flawlessly as in 
Delphi and which could be a pleasant addition to Qt-creator.

Let's give an example:

1) I put a pushButton on the MainWindow
2) I declare a slot on_pushButton_clicked by right clicking the 
pushButton and then Go to slot and select clicked().

If later on I change the objectname of pushButton to for instance 
stopBut, the name of the slot connected to the clicked signal will not 
change.
This results in a compiler error and the user must change the name of 
the slot manually. It would be very handy if all the slots connected to
the pushButtons signals are renamed automatically if the name of the 
pushButton object changes.


Other suggestions might be the following:
1) I like working on a dark background, with white or grey text. Only 
the colors of code worksheet can be changed and not the sidebars and 
other panels like the build, compiler and search panels
2) Working with tabs is very handy. It would be pleasant if you can open 
multiple documents and switch between them by clicking the tab instead 
of the up/down arrow.

Well these are my suggestions and  I hope they are useful to you.

Keep up the good work and I am looking forward to the Qt-creator 2.0 
release!!!!!

Regards,
