Status Bar Styling Issue

[JohnFredC]

For the most part, my personal dark theme works well for MP. However, I have been unable to remove the boxes around the various fields displayed in the status bar.

Here is the issue:



See the boxes around the fields displayed in the status bar? They look funny, don't they?

Apparently the label controls on the status bar are "3D". IMO they should be "2D". Ideally, I would want no borders around them whatsoever.

In the QT style sheet, how does one specify that a label control should be displayed without the 3D attribute?

Thanks!

Code: Select all

QStatusBar::item {
margin: 20px;
border: 0;
background: yellow;
}

How's that, John?

Supports only the background property. The frame for individual items can be style using the ::item subcontrol.

See Customizing QStatusBar for an example.

<!-- EDIT -- //

As it turns out, one has to add padding…

Code: Select all

QStatusBar {
background: fuchsia;
}
QStatusBar::item {
background: lime;
}
QStatusBar QLabel {
padding: 10px;
border: 0;
background: yellow;
}

… or margins to QStatusBar QLabel:

Code: Select all

QStatusBar {
background: fuchsia;
}
QStatusBar::item {
background: lime;
}
QStatusBar QLabel {
margin: 10px;
border: 0;
background: yellow;
}

// -- EDIT -->

Thank you very much XnTriq! I'll try that out.

BTW those color choices are quite... interesting!

• Fuschia
  Yellow
  Lime

uh-huh!

What can I say — I'm a retro kinda guy, and this is my neon-text-marker/sore-thumb color scheme for better contrast during testing

Hi XnTriq!

The following worked great:

Code: Select all

QStatusBar {
 background: transparent;
}
QStatusBar::item {
margin: 1px;
border: 0;
background: transparent;
}
QStatusBar QLabel {
 margin: 1px;
 border: 0;
 background:  transparent;
}

Thanks again!

John, please update the downloadable version your theme with all the improvements since 2010 on occasion.

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

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

Hi XnTriq

I promise to do so but...

...still working on it. Haven't even addressed the Settings dialog yet.

"Soon", however.

Keep us posted!

While we're at it: Do you know what the following selectors (\UI\style_sheet.qss @ line #700) are for?

• QToolBar#UIPanosView_ToolBar
• QToolBar#UIGroupsView_ToolBar
• QToolBar#UIGroup_ToolBar
• QToolBar#UIPano_ToolBar

Could these be leftovers from AutoPano?

Thanks to the Autopano team!!

Now I see why you find my choice of colors “interesting”: You have a soft spot for fuchsia & lime, too (-;
