-**⚠️ Important Notice:**
-
-🚨 **PyQt6 is no longer supported** due to incompatibilities with Qt Designer. Please use **PySide6** instead. 🚨
-
 BEC Widgets is a GUI framework designed for interaction with [BEC (Beamline Experiment Control)](https://gitlab.psi.ch/bec/bec).
-
 ## Installation
 
 Use the package manager [pip](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/) to install BEC Widgets:
 
 ```bash
-pip install bec_widgets[pyside6]
+pip install bec-widgets
 ```
 
 For development purposes, you can clone the repository and install the package locally in editable mode:
 
 ```bash
 git clone https://gitlab.psi.ch/bec/bec-widgets
-cd bec_widgets
-pip install -e .[dev,pyside6]
+cd bec-widgets
+pip install -e .[dev]
 ```
 
-BEC Widgets now **only supports PySide6**. Users must manually install PySide6 as no default Qt distribution is
-specified.
+BEC Widgets currently supports both PyQt5 and PyQt6. By default, PyQt6 is installed.
 
+To select a specific Python Qt distribution, install the package with an additional tag:
+
+```bash
+pip install bec-widgets[pyqt6]
+```
+or 
+
+```bash
+pip install bec-widgets[pyqt5]
+```
 ## Documentation

-This module provides a utility class for counting and reporting frames per second (FPS) in a PyQtGraph application.
-
-Classes:
-    FPSCounter: A class that monitors the paint events of a `ViewBox` to calculate and emit FPS values.
-
-Usage:
-    The `FPSCounter` class can be used to monitor the rendering performance of a `ViewBox` in a PyQtGraph application.
-    It connects to the `ViewBox`'s paint event and calculates the FPS over a specified interval, emitting the FPS value
-    at regular intervals.
-
-Example:
-    from qtpy import QtWidgets, QtCore
-    import pyqtgraph as pg
-    from fps_counter import FPSCounter
-
-    app = pg.mkQApp("FPS Counter Example")
-    win = pg.GraphicsLayoutWidget()
-    win.show()
-
-    vb = pg.ViewBox()
-    plot_item = pg.PlotItem(viewBox=vb)
-    win.addItem(plot_item)
-
-    fps_counter = FPSCounter(vb)
-    fps_counter.sigFpsUpdate.connect(lambda fps: print(f"FPS: {fps:.2f}"))
