A dark stylesheet for Qt applications.

License

This project is licensed under the MIT license.

Installation

Python

Install the qdarkstyle package using the setup script or using pip:

python setup.py install

pip install qdarkstyle

C++

Download/clone the project and copy the following files to your application directory (keep the existing directory hierarchy):

qdarkstyle/style.qss
qdarkstyle/style.qrc
qdarkstyle/rc/ (the whole directory)

Add qdarkstyle/style.qrc to your .pro file
Load the stylesheet:

QFile f(":qdarkstyle/style.qss");
if (!f.exists())
{
    printf("Unable to set stylesheet, file not found\n");
}
else 
{
    f.open(QFile::ReadOnly | QFile::Text);
    QTextStream ts(&f);
    QApplication::instance()->setStyleSheet(ts.readAll());
}

Usage

Here is an example using PySide:

import sys
import qdarkstyle
from PySide import QtGui


# create the application and the main window
app = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)
window = QtGui.QMainWindow()

# setup stylesheet
app.setStyleSheet(qdarkstyle.load_stylesheet())

# run
window.show()
app.exec_()

To use PyQt4 instead of PySide, you just need to replace

app.setStyleSheet(qdarkstyle.load_stylesheet())

app.setStyleSheet(qdarkstyle.load_stylesheet(pyside=False))

There is an example included in the example folder. You can run the script without installing qdarkstyle. You only need to have PySide or PyQt4 installed on your system.

Status:

Most widgets have been styled. If you find a widget that has not been style, just open an issue on the issue tracker or, better, submit a pull request.
