+
+### [Qt Design Studio](https://www.qt.io/ui-design-tools)
+
+Taken from the [Qt Blog](https://www.qt.io/blog/qt-design-studio-1.5-beta-released):
+
+> The most obvious change in [Qt Design Studio 1.5](https://www.qt.io/blog/qt-design-studio-1.5-beta-released) is the integration of dock widgets using the Qt Advanced Docking System. This allows the user to fully customize the workspace and also to undock any view into its own top level window. This especially improves the usability when using multiple screens.

+
+### [QmixElements](https://www.cetoni.com/products/qmixelements/)
+
+The QmixElements software from [CETONI](https://www.cetoni.com) is a comprehensive, 
+plugin-based and modular laboratory automation software for controlling CETONI devices using a joint graphical user interface. The software features a powerful script system to automate processes. This [blog post](https://www.cetoni.com/blog/qmixelements-advanced-docking-system/) gives a nice overview about the use of the Qt
+Advanced Docking System in the QmixElements sofware.
