Thanks for the info. Is it possible to use the development version of Qt3D at 
the current time? I’ll probably do without widget overlaying for now, but I 
really do need the functionality of the library because with my current time 
frame I won’t be able to re-write all those bits and pieces on my own from 
scratch.

Thanks,

Jonathan
