Qt Creator theme folder

Mr Gisa

Where is the Qt Creator folder for the themes? I'm using Qt Creator 4.6.1.

I tried to find in C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\QtProject\qtcreator, but there's nothing there.

I'm interested in finding the css for the Qt Creator themes, if that's possible.

Hi
its in
"C:\Qt\Tools\QtCreator\share\qtcreator\themes"
But its NOT a css. more like a color table in ini format.
It uses the fusion style and the themes simply set the colors.
[General]
ThemeName=Flat Dark
PreferredStyles=Fusion
DefaultTextEditorColorScheme=creator-dark.xml

[Palette]
shadowBackground=ff404244
text=ffd0d0d0
textDisabled=60a4a6a8
toolBarItem=b6fbfdff
toolBarItemDisabled=60a4a6a8
fancyBarsNormalTextColor=ffd0d0d0
fancyBarsBoldTextColor=b6fbfdff
hoverBackground=22ffffff
selectedBackground=66000000
normalBackground=ff2E2F30
alternateBackground=ff353637
error=ffdf4f4f
warning=ffecbc1c
splitter=ff06080A
textColorLink=ff007af4
textColorLinkVisited=ffa57aff
backgroundColorDisabled=ff444444
...

Mr Gisa

So it's like setting the palettes? Like this?

@Mr-Gisa
Basically yes.
But Creator might have internal use that outside of setPalette as it knows the styles.
Like PreferredStyles=Fusion

I also wanted to borrow the look but even reading the ini file and set same color
did not produce 100% same look but was close.

You can maybe find inspiration in

Mr Gisa

@mrjj Yes, I know, that is sad. I'm not actually looking for the dark theme but the flat light one, all the styles I can find is only dark (people like dark things right? haha)

mrjj

@Mr-Gisa
haha :)
I thought i was only person in the world that is not into dark themes.
Well using fusion QStyle and the colors in the flat file will get you close.
But i think some of the flatness in Creator also comes from the custom widgets.

Mr Gisa

@mrjj I will try to see if it works, if not I will stick with the fusion style without any palette.

mrjj

@Mr-Gisa
Btw, i searched Creator source for any style sheets but i didn't find any.
I wondered if rest of theme was via qss compiled to the exe.

Mr Gisa

I tried to find the style and I couldn't, for now I won't put too much effort into this cause the application that I want to do that doesn't require that, it's just something I want to do to make it look a little bit different from the native OS style.
