QDarkStylesheet

A dark stylesheet for Qt applications (Qt4, Qt5, PySide, PyQt4 and PyQt5).

License

This project is licensed under the MIT license.

Installation

Python

Install qdarkstyle package using the setup script or using pip:

python setup.py install

or

pip install qdarkstyle

C++

1. 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)

2. Add qdarkstyle/style.qrc to your .pro file

3. 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())

by

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

To use PyQt5, you need to use load_stylesheet_pyqt5 instead of load_stylesheet.

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 or PyQt5) 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.
