           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 :)
