[Qt-interest] Margins in QTabWidget

[Ben Swerts]

Hi Stan,

You can do it both in designer as in code. I assume that every item has a
layout. Then you can select one of the tabs (This is not possible by
clicking on a tab. You'll have to use the Object Inspector). At the bottom
of the Property Editor will be entries concerning the layout. Changing these
numbers will have the desired effect. 
If you want to do it in code, you'll have to use QLayout::setContentsMargins
on the layout for each tab.

Hope it helps.
Greets,
