<p>This topic talks about the Qt Widgets and Qt WebKit changes in Qt 5. The following step-by-step instructions take you through the changes required to port the Animated Tiles application to Qt 5:</p>
<ol class="1">
<li>Open the Animated Tiles project using Qt Creator.</li>
<li>Edit <tt>main.cpp</tt> and replace the <tt>#include <QtGui></tt> instance with <tt>#include <QtWidgets></tt>.</li>
<li>Edit the <tt>animatedtiles.pro</tt> and add <tt>QT += widgets</tt> towards the end of the file.<p><b>Note: </b>QtGui is included by default in all Qt applications unless excluded using the <tt>QT -= gui</tt> directive in the <tt>qmake</tt> project file.</p></li>
<li>Save the changes and run the application.</li>
</ol>
<p>Once you see the application running, check whether it behaves as expected.</p>
<p class="centerAlign"><img src="images/animatedtiles_snapshot.png" alt=""A snapshot of the \c animatedtiles application running on Ubuntu v12.04"" /></p><p>A similar change is needed to port Qt 4 C++ applications using Qt WebKit. The following step-by-step instructions take you through the changes required to achieve this:</p>
<ol class="1">
<li>Open your project using Qt Creator.</li>
<li>Replace all <tt>#include <QtWebKit></tt> instances with <tt>#include <QtWebKitWidgets></tt> in your project source.</li>
<li>Edit the <tt>.pro</tt> file and add <tt>QT += webkitwidgets</tt>.<p><b>Note: </b>If the <tt>QT +=</tt> statement already exists, append <tt>webkitwidgets</tt> to it.</p></li>
<li>Save changes and run your application.</li>
</ol>
