Add space between toolbar and dock widgets

[Maluna34]

Hello !

I have in my window a toolbar at the top and a dock widget on the left.
But I don't manage to get any space between them:

The only solution I found is to add an empty top dock widget to create this space.
Isn't it possible to set the space size?

Thanks!!

Well you can use the layout to add space, or add a spaceritem.

@Tink Thank you but how add this spacer into the main window layout?

@Maluna34 After reading your post again, i think perhaps all you need is to set contentsmargin?
E.g. ui->centralwidget->layout()->setContentsMargins(0,40,0,0);

@Tink It does not work. :(

I'm sorry, my last remark was non-sensical since a dockwidget is not part of the centralwidget. This is probably some very specific dockwidget stuff that i don't know about. Perhaps some of the guru's here will know if it's possible.
