Hi André,

In fact, I started with manual positioning (I already feared layouts 
won't help me here). But I found it *really* cumbersome, and it soon 
gets quite messy with even a little more complex custom widgets. So, in 
a diskussion with a friend, we figured out that layouts would be the 
right way to go for me.

Well, that was actually the second thing I tried ;) --- I thought about 
creating one single QGridLayout. But then I ended up with the problem of 
having no idea on how to overlay (or better: "underlay") the connector 
name QLabels with the QFrame :/. Sure, I could do this manually, but 
this isn't anything but ugly, I guess. And then, the connector name 
QLabels aren't aligned with the inside of the QFrame.

A quite similar problem is described here:

That's why I came up with the imperfect solution I presented in my last 
mail.

Thanks for the tips! I think, I have to investigate those two options.

Kind regards,
