I'm trying to make an app in C++ Qt with a sidebar like this one:

Finder's sidebar

But when making QTabWidget's orientation to West, it makes the text vertical. How to have the text on the left, but horizontally-aligned? Ps: I don't need icons. Thanks in advance.

You can use QListWidget to show the "tabs" (with some mods to make it look like you want) and QStackedWidget to handle switching between pages like normal tab widget does.
