Better Visual Separation of the Individual Panes in the Widgets

I believe the informative and operational blocks displayed on the right of the drawing area are called Widgets. If this is not correct, please forgive my error in terminology.

I was rearranging my choice of those Widgets before a drawing session tonight and that brought up something I had thought about often while using QCAD. It is somewhat confusing to see where one Widget, one block (Layer List, View List, Block List, Property Editor, etc.) in this area ends and the next one starts. The colors, outlines, and other characteristics of everything in that area are all very similar and there is no real separator, like a double or extra heavy line between them. And the title block for each of them has much the same characteristics as the other lines in the block so that’s no help. This forces you to look carefully for the block you want before looking for the item within that block you wish to work with. And this, in turn, slows your work down.

I looked in the Drawing Preferences and Application Preferences but couldn’t find anything that could be changed to make this easier. Is there some property that can be changed to make the division between the various Widgets more easily visible? Background color of Header? Outline style of Header? Bold font in Header? Anything?

You may be able to get a better visual display by playing around with the theme, I’ve developed a stand alone app that allows you to change widget colours and font sizes/colours, see here - Qcad Theme Apps - QCAD Script Programming & Contributions - QCAD Forum

To improve visual separation between panes in widgets, consider using a combination of methods like color contrast, dividers, and whitespace.bhulekh bihar

The Widget title for the Default theme is clearly formatted differently.
I have no complaints about the visual separation.
I think that the issue is the standard Dark theme where all the backgrounds are black.

Remark that there were but 2 standard themes: ‘Default’ and ‘Dark’.
All other are generated by petevick (Pete) and adopted in a standard installation.
Theme ‘Dark’ has several hard-coded formatting that overrules the CSS.
There are other thing that are not clear, for example the difference between enable or disable state of Widgets.

Color contrast … See Default theme, especially the most standard way to format the Widget title.
On Windows that looks fine, Qt may displays things differently on other OS.
I don’t see much formatting options for the title block of an UI using Qt designer.
That is practically standardized per OS.

Dividers … Or Whitespace
Placed at the right that are individual or combined docked Widgets.
Additional elements must be added on the fly but I don’t think that is an easy exercise considering all possible docking options.
Anything additional would just eat up more of the limited space.

How comes that the trailing part is not shown? What is the reason to add this?
Only the trailing part itself is detected as ‘Hindi’ by Google Translate.
