CustomTitleBar v2.0.0

What's new in v2.0?

• NMainWindow has been renamed to QCustomWindow;
• TitleBar has been renamed to QTitleBar;
• QCustomWindow and QTitleBar no longer use Qt designer files;
• It is no longer necessary to call "setCustomWidgets", "setNewCentralWidget" or "setCustomStatusBar". Widget additions are handled on "QCustomWindow::event(QEvent*)";
• QTitleBar can be directly accessed through "QCustomWindow::titleBar()" method;
• QToolBar and QDockWidget objects can be normally added/inserted/removed;
• Faster API calls (every single event has been redesiged so as to provide smoother window transformations);
• QTitleBar properties must be set directly to QCustomWindow's titlebar object;
• Minor fixes;

LIMITATIONS

Unfortunately, there are some limitations which cannot be overcome (yet). Here are some of them:

• It is not recommended to change QToobar's stylesheet after it has been inserted into a QCustomWindow's layout;
• Under no circumstances "QMainWindow::setMenuBar" and "QMainWindow::setMenuWidgets" should be called, since those methods have been reimplemented in QCustomWindow. It means that they cannot be generated by Qt Designer.

• Custom stylesheet for titlebar feature.

Improved:
