Hi Wayne,
Extensive document exists on it, applicable in our case since we're
re-using the Qt style sheets:

[1] http://doc.trolltech.com/4.7/stylesheet.html

If you start Qt Designer you can play with the styles (first some test
form should be created, no programming needed).

Kexi does not use or reuse any style sheets editor (Qt Designer has
one) for now, so entering the style definition (semicolon-separated)
is the only option.

Unfortunately not but this is a bug we discovered in this thread by
the way (feel free to report!).

As the document [1] explains you can specify e.g.:

   QPushButton { background-color:red }

to colorize only background of the push buttons or your form.
There's a lot more options like that but I agree that's for power users.
