This is probably simple, though I can't find the correct CSS trick to handle this one.
I want to have this kind of button-group (separated with lines, containing a context menu ) in Qt. They must have native look and feel (not like below examples) so the only needed change seems to be removing rounded corners of a QPushButton from its right side (for left-most button), left side (for right most button) and both (for buttons in the middle).
Qt does not support this. You can use CSS to style the buttons like in the example, but you can not use natively styled buttons like this.
If you really need this, the only option I see is to write custom controls for this, with customized drawing code for each OS GUI style you want to support.
You could also try to use standard buttons that overlap and use custom code to paint some kind of line over the overlapping region, but I don't think that would be a good solution.

How do I create a global overlay of all tags?
Pressing a shortcut should make all tags appear in seperate boxes in one screen. It should look something like this:
How can I make something like this? How can I seperate tags in boxes?
My collision module or the bling module has something close enough. Getting the exact layout you ask for is non-trivial because AwesomeWM is not a compositing window manager. This means it cannot really take screenshots (let alone live-views) of invisible clients/windows. Usually, the only "safe" thing is to display the outline and client icon.
If you really, really want this, you need:
A compositing manager such as picom
Either these patches or use gears.surface(client.content) to take a screenshot
Lot of code to properly render a wibox with the right screenshots. You can read the bling or collision code to know how to get the size and position.
I'd like to create a context menu looking similar to this one:
I read suggestions on the web that QWidget::setMask() should be used to create a shape. But how can it fit the variable number of items then? Moreover, the same menu item may take more or less screen space on different machines.
Another question is how to create a shadow around this custom shape? As far as I understand, the mask allows to crop the widget, but not to make it semi-transparent.
I don’t found an easy way to do that! But here goes a way!
Instead of using the Qt mask API, I've used a frame-less widget with transparency enabled!
To draw the shadow, I've used radial gradient!
You can change the size of the menu before opening it, however you can’t resize it after opened (for example resize with mouse).
It’s quite easy add or remove widgets, just respect the layout margin to not draw outside the bounds destined to widgets. To simplify your life I created an inherited class of QPushButton with colors you can easily customize with style sheet.

i am looking forward to make a welcome screen of my web app like the picture i shown..
here is a pic of example:
http://img600.imageshack.us/img600/4144/1j5h.png
The truth is i have tested many almost all the panels that GWT has to offer, and still i cannot make it.
For example:
The upper header, i made it with a DockLayoutPanel like this:
DockLayoutPanel Header = new DockLayoutPanel(unit.PCT);
header.setStyleName(¨fw¨);
header.setWidht("100%");
header.setHeight("35px");
header.addEast(ingresar,15);
header.addEast(pass,15);
header.addEast(user,15);
Using that panel, i can have all the 2 boxes and the button on the right corner of the screen, and with AUTO-WITDH.
*(even i cannot pad the red button)..
As you can check the horizontal Center Panel has a different style, i create it as Horizontal Panel, but when i do :
header.add(center_panel);
It is useless, the css from header will ofuscate the css from horizontal panel, also i cannot get the box right in the CENTER.
i have zero experience in GWT, i would like if someone can tell me the way, because i am using panels and i am not quite sure that i am using the right ones for this tasks, or the best ones.
THanks very much

If you don't have much experience in GWT components try creating the UI with using GWT UI Binder. Its much more similar to creating a layout with html and css. Also you can use most of the html elements such as divs,spans etc.. GWT Uibinder
You can give styles on individual panels like,
for horizontal,
HorizontalPanel hp=new HorizontalPanel();
hp.setStyleName("");
The default look of a Mac wizard (and by extension of QWizard) is this:
All this space on the left, where the bowtie image is, is completely useless and wasted.
Instead I like what the Dropbox guys have done:
How do I achieve this effect in Qt?
(Using PySide wrapper here, but I'll take any code that I can get!)
I tried settings all kinds of paddings and margins and whatnot on QFrame, QWidget, etc. using a stylesheet and still cannot get rid of this space on the left. Do I need to hack MacStyle? How would I go about doing this?
Change the Wizard Style to Classic:
setWizardStyle(QWizard::ClassicStyle);
I have a Flex button. I need one color on the left and another on the right. I don't need it to be a gradient. Just solid colors. Like green on left & red on right. I really don't want to use an image -- just because it'll probably take me a long time to do it.
The gradients via Flex Properties in Flex Builder seems to apply only vertically, not horizontally.
I also tried to make 2 button, each half width (of original), and putting it into a HBox & really packing them close so they'll look like a single button with 2 colors. It works OK, but I was thinking if there was a better way.
Thanks.
I think the proper way to do something like this is to create a custom component and then override the drawing method and draw in two colors, with the associated properties and such.
The solution you used is the simplest, so you should keep it like that unless you want to go through the trouble of creating the custom component (It's not THAT bad since Flex is open source and you can see how the original button is coded, and modify from there).
you could use degrafa to skin the button
This link http://blog.timeister.com/2009/01/16/flex-custom-button-skin/ provides a nice way to do exactly what I wanted above. It needs 2 classes: one subclasses ButtonSkin & the other Button. Link them both via CSS and use them in mxml. Simple & easy.
