[SOLVED] Stylesheet from file - relative url paths

[inspired]

Ok, so in my application i apply a stylesheet from a file, like this:
in main:
@QFile file(QApplication::applicationDirPath() + "/themes/default/style.css");
file.open(QFile::ReadOnly);
QString StyleSheet = QLatin1String(file.readAll());
a.setStyleSheet(StyleSheet);@

and in the style.css, i want to use an image like this
@image: url(down-arrow.png);@

but the thing is that qt searches for the file "down-arrow.png" inside the folder of the exe (QApplication::applicationDirPath() )

so i have to write
@image: url(themes/default/down-arrow.png);@

is there any way to use relative paths in the stylesheet file?

or in other words, to change where qt searches for files when it parses the stylesheet

Thank you

You can in style.css write:
@
image: url(%down-arrow.png%);
@
then load stylesheet to QString and replace %down-arrow.png% to correct file. I don't know other solution.

well that wouldnt help i think, cuz i give the user the abillity to set their own theme folder and so they can make their own style.css file.. (though i didnt understand how to change the %down-arrow.png% ... something with args?)

but i figured a way when you said about QString replacement, so thank you! :)

@QString styleSheetFromFile(QString file, QString folderForUrl)
{
QFile f(file);
f.open(QFile::ReadOnly);
QString styleSheet = QLatin1String(f.readAll());
f.close();
styleSheet.replace("url(","url("+folderForUrl+"/");
return styleSheet;
}@

You load the style sheet by yourself. With this, Qt has no idea where your style sheet comes from. This also means, that a relative path to the images makes no sense. Qt just looks relative to the current working directory; in your case relative to the executable.
The solution is as simple as undocumented:
@
QApplication a(argc, argv);
QString file = "/path/to/fancy.css";
a.setStyleSheet( "file:///" + file);
@
