Summary: Create a way to use qt style sheets (qss) for
theming/styles
Product: kde
Version: unspecified
Platform: Ubuntu Packages
OS/Version: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: general
AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs kde org
ReportedBy: protomank gmail com
Version: (using KDE 4.0.83)
Installed from: Ubuntu Packages
Qt 4.2 introduced a new way for theming apps: using a style sheet file (qss) much like css for html: http://doc.trolltech.com/4.3/stylesheet-examples.html
Using this is much easier to create themes than coding a style in C++, and a much broader quantity of people will be able to create themes.
You can already run an application with --stylesheet (file.qss) option and it will theme it using the style sheet, but it does have some issues:
- the qss does not work in some parts because of the current style used in kde overrides it
- you can't set it globally to all launched kde apps without adding the --stylesheet command line option.
So, my wish is that and option in systemsettings->look&feel->style is added in witch user can pick a qss file to theme KDE apps and that kde reverts to some basic theme that does not interfere with the qss.
I do not think it's too hard to implement, but if any developer like the idea but does not have time to implement, I gladly would give a try if you provide me with directions :)
