For instance, can i add SVG code for up and down arrows in the stylesheet for QScrollbar rather than specifying an url to the image?

IIRC this should work via Qt stylesheets. At least the Qt filesystem is capable of loading such urls, so my guess it also should work within QSS.image: url("data:image/png;base64,<base64ImageData>") // replace '<base64ImageData>' -

What if i do not want to use base64 image? Can i use SVG instead?
Reason is i want the image to be scalable

Hi
Why cant you just use SVG images ?
Like ":/somefile.svg"
(it located in qresource) -

i want to eliminate dependency on external resource, hence asking, if we cannot add in the stylesheet i would go for the .svg file.

Ok but it wont be external if you use resource as its compiled into the .exe (app)
Anyway, i doubt it will allow the actual SVG code directly. Did not tried it base64 encoded though :) -

Note on SVG.
Im using SVG for all icons. I discovered that the page "box" ( at least if editing with InkScape)
would define the maximum size the icon would become. ( when used with QIcon)
So if some of the icons looks fussy, it might be the reason. Simply scale SVG up and resave. -
