So I have designed a GUI in PyQt5 Designer and when I run it in the designer itself it appears fine but after converting it into Python code and running that, the window appears much smaller and all the widgets appear squished together.
Does anyone know why this happens and how to fix it?
I have tried to fix this by adding all the widgets to a grid so that when I scale up the window it will look normal but that hasn't worked either, see below.
In the Qt Designer:
In Python code:
In Python code when the window is maximized:
Here is the Python Code that was generated:
