the problem is that the Qt stylesheets are pretty bad at that. The 
customization options they provide are limited, work in unexpected ways, 
and sometimes look flat-out buggy, especially if applications have their 
own widgets or drawing code or if the stylesheet is applied on top of an 
unusual base style.

They are fine for coloring a combo box or line edit in red if the input 
is invalid, but they are not a useful user-configurable theme engine.

I do see the value in the feature you envision, but IMO it needs to 
happen in the form of something like the QtCurve style, which does its 
painting in a way that is directly intended to be customized. 
Customization needs to be offered by the style; it cannot be kludged on 
top of the style with the QCssStyle proxy style, at least not in its 
current form (but probably not at all). I suggest looking into something 
like this if you'd like to provide user-customizable styles.

Greetings,
Sven
