UI Skinning

[ryadav]

Hello all,

I've started to read http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/stylesheet-customizing.html

could someone please point me to some other good resource for skinning the UI for a Qt C++ Widget base app.

If anyone knows of any sample app, that would be great.

Right now I am using Qt 4.8.

Thanks,
Rajinder

There are many examples of how to customize any widget with css styles here: "Link":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/stylesheet-reference.html

If you want total low-level control over how your app looks you could subclass one of the style classes like QWindowsStyle or the very basic QStyle and do all the drawing there.

You can find a few samples on that blog:

Thanks for the response, however what I am looking for is sample on advanced skinning the entire window, with the ability to use custom (bitmap) images to lay down as tiles, such as for the titlebar and the min/max/close buttons with their own images. Also on how to handle various screen resolution and fonts size with using bitmap images.
