Control of UI Design in QT

BlazeRifted

QT is a very powerful tool for creating UI's and that is why I am using it. But I am having trouble designing the look of the interface. My vision is to have it look something like blender,

So I obviously am trying to make it a little like that. Is their any suggestions to enhance the look in the UI?

I suggest to work with styleSheets which give you control of the design and you should be able to make a blenderlike UI.
Here's a small sample for a pushButton, assigned in the form to a QFrame with some buttons through Creator:

@
QPushButton {
font: 7pt "Ubuntu";
border-width: 1px;
border-color: #87c3ff;
border-style: solid;
border-radius: 2;
min-width: 55px;
min-height: 15px;
}
QPushButton:hover {
border-color: orchid;
border-width: 2px;
}
QPushButton:pressed {
padding-left: 2px;
padding-top: 2px;
background-color: orchid;
}

Is it possible to place all the style sheets in one file and have the rest of my program check that file when rendering widgets?

that should be possible as you can assign strings containing the stylesheets in runtime by using setStyleSheet
