Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner.   Are you trying to do a custom 
plugin or just use custom widgets?  It can be a bit confusing since 
pyqt5.dll is a Designer plugin for accessing custom Python widgets but 
the term plugin is also used for the class that you write for each 
widget you want to expose.

I definitely have custom widgets showing in Designer, that is really the 
primary reason I made pyqt5-tools (having a binary distribution of 
pyqt5.dll for Designer).  If you want custom widgets then maybe try with 
my project at github.com/altendky/st.  There are instructions in the 
readme to set it up and then you can try `designer.bat` (or `.vbs`) as a 
first test.  There should be a bunch of  extra widgets at the bottom of 
the list in Designer.

I do not recall if I got the examples showing in Designer or not.
