How to modify the visit software interface through QT designer file

[summer7807]

Previously, QT linguist software was used to translate the visit interface into Chinese. In the next step, we want to delete the functional blocks of the visit interface through QT designer software, so as to simplify the visit software. So I want to ask where the source code of visit software interface function block is?

@summer7807 we do not use QT designer to design (or manage) VisIt's QT interface. I am not even sure if the state of our interface coding is compatible with QT designer.

That said, the bulk of the interface is in the top level gui folder/subdir (https://github.com/visit-dav/visit/tree/develop/src/gui). But, that is not the entire interface. Plot and Operator plugin interfaces are in their respective directories under the plots (https://github.com/visit-dav/visit/tree/develop/src/plots) and operators (https://github.com/visit-dav/visit/tree/develop/src/operators) folders/subdirs.

Just to follow up with what @markcmiller86 stated, we do not use QT designer in general, though some of our Windows/Widgets may have started with designer. We do not have .ui files that could be used with designer, so I don't think there would be any way to pull our Windows/widgets into the tool.
