To enable Qt Creator Design mode for a project using Qt Quick or PySide6, you can follow these steps:

  1. Open Qt Creator and create a new project using the Qt Quick Application or PySide6 Application template.

  2. Once the project is created, go to the "Projects" pane on the left-hand side of the screen.

  3. Under the "Build & Run" section, select the "Desktop" kit (or whichever kit is appropriate for your system).

  4. Click on "Run Settings" and make sure that "Run in terminal" is unchecked.

  5. Save your changes and build and run the project.

  6. Once the application launches, go to the "Design" mode tab at the bottom of the screen.

  7. Select the "Main.qml" file from the project explorer on the left-hand side of the screen.

  8. You can now use the visual design tools to create and modify the user interface of your application.

Note: If you are using PySide6, you may need to install the "Qt Design Studio" plugin for Qt Creator in order to enable the visual design tools.
