Hi Koen Thanks for your reply.

Firstly, not really being a Web expert - what I decided to do with CSS is to only use it to set font/colours and the like, and use Wt layout managers for positioning. Seemed a good compromise to keep the "developing an application" development style, if you see what I mean. What I expected was that WStackedWidget would act just like any other widget - like WText say. Esp. if it is in a Layout then it would be resized by the layout - and therefore resize its children (i.e. your third scenario). I think scrollbars are not needed - as you can always use WScroll (or whatever it is called) round each child as need be. Without this I think that Menus and Tabs (which use Stacked Widget) will not be useful unless you use CSS for positioning (?) > Perhaps this is what you are > looking for?

I did this in the end - wasn't too bad (once its done its done) - just used anchors in the same way that WMenu does. But it has longer code and its not so easy to add menu items. Also I have avoided using Tabs which would have been nice. I'm enjoying using Witty - its fantastic in fact.
