The safe area margins of a window represent the area that is safe to
place content within, without intersecting areas of the screen where
system UI is placed, or where a screen bezel may cover the content.
QWidget will incorporate the safe area margins into its contents margins,
so that they are are never smaller than the safe area margins. This can be
disabled by unsetting the Qt::WA_ContentsMarginsRespectsSafeArea widget
attribute, which is set by default.
QLayouts will automatically use the contents area of a widget for their
layout, unless the Qt::WA_LayoutOnEntireRect attribute has been set. This
can be used, along with a contents margin of 0 on the actual layout,
to allow e.g. a background image to underlay the status bar and other
system areas on an iOS device, while still allowing child widgets of
that background to be inset based on the safe area.
[ChangeLog][iOS/tvOS] Qt will now take the safe area margins of the
device into account when computing layouts for QtWidgets.
