Unsolved how to create custom style class on PyQt4 / PyQt5

[Jorgen]

Hi guys,
I'm wondering if there is a way to subclass QPlastiqueStyle on PyQt4 and QFusionStyle on PyQt5?
QProxyStyle is the best choice and is working (but is only available on PyQt5) - so how to subclass and create custom style class on PyQt4?

Hope someone can help me here?...

Currently I add Plastique for Qt 4 and Fusion for Qt 5 and apply some custom palette and stylesheets on top.
But would be nicer to add style sheets and palette directly on overloaded polish method of custom style class.

Hi,

Check the QStyle documentation for the basics of creating a custom style and using it. It's the same for Qt 4.

The linked example also shows a nice example using QProxyStyle which might be a better choice depending on what you want to achieve.

Hope it helps

Hi @SGaist thx for the fast reply.
QProxyStyle is the best choice for PyQt5, but it is not available for PyQt4.
Maybe there is a way to create a style plugin for my cpp style classes, which I can use afterwards in Python?

The folks from PyQt also provides the tool to generate python bindings from C++ code. You can write you C++ class and create the bindings for it and use it in your Qt application.

@SGaist thx for the hint. Will look into it
