Re: Qt Stylesheet Snippet Repository

In my initial post I tried to cover the theoretics behind Qt styles. (I'll add more links to references and tutorials as I find them.) Now it's time to get our hands dirty.

The easiest and fastest way to achieve results is to use an existing theme as a template and build upon it. JohnFredC and oops66 have paved the way for the rest of us. However, there's still some work to be done.

Here are some samples for your dissecting pleasure:
For the last two years I was hoping for QtStyles.net to become a one stop shop for all things QSS. Unfortunately the site never took off and seems to be abandoned now :|

Unfortunately I haven't found a cheat sheet for QSS.
Please keep in mind that Qt supports only a subset of CSS.

Unfortunately, none of those affect the line arrowed in the following image:

We need a reference to which controls map to which QT widgets. There are some peculiar relationships that I have discovered and will try to document in this thread when there is time (Christmas is coming!)... 8)

If anyone is interested, here is a link to a zip of my QSS files ("beta") for MP (as of 12/11/10):

JohnFredC Theme for MP

And a full-size preview (obviously a "work in progress"):

There are lots of problems with my theme, particularly in the dialogs and the presentation of the status bar, so it will not be for everyone (or anyone, perhaps), but I will try to keep the link updated.

Note: Since in MP 0.3x, themes are defined separately from thumb colors (AND preview background colors AND view background colors, etc), you will ALSO need to modify those settings to make your MP look like mine!

I can't find it, and it's driving me nuts :evil:

Code: Select all

QDockWidget QWidget { border: 1px solid blue; }
QTabWidget::pane { border-top: 3px solid aqua; }
QTabBar { border: 2px solid red; }
QFrame { border: 1px solid lime; }

Ok, and now a blunt question:

Select an JPG/TIFF and press Ctrl+I. The IPTC dialog appears. How can I make the font from „Caption” field bigger using qtCSS?

So far, I haven't been able to narrow it down to a specific selector…

Code: Select all

QWidget {
color: lime;
font-size: 25px;
}

Code: Select all

QFrame {
color: lime;
font-size: 25px;
}

Code: Select all

QAbstractScrollArea {
color: lime;
font-size: 25px;
}
… but I'll keep digging.

None of the above (QWidget, QFrame, QAbstractScrollArea) can be used to increase the font size of the IPTC dialog without affecting other elements as well. :-|

I usually paste the additional QSS into the text field of the tab for style_sheet_win.qss (ViewThemeDark theme). Do you know of a different/better method, m.Th.?

Nope. :| I think that the additional QSS could be pasted directly in the first tab since is not a Windows only issue. Besides that, it would be nice to have this mechanism to all themes not only for the dark theme.
