===============

A dark stylesheet for Qt applications (Qt4, Qt5, PySide, PySide2, PyQt4,
PyQt5, QtPy, PyQtGraph).

Installation
------------

Python
~~~~~~

From PyPI: Get the latest stable version of ``qdarkstyle`` package using
*pip* (preferable):

.. code:: bash

    pip install qdarkstyle

From code: Download/clone the project, go to ``qdarkstyle`` folder then:

-  You can use the *setup* script and pip install.

``bash   pip install .``

-  Or, you can use the *setup* script with Python:
   ``bash   python setup.py install``

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** as follows:

``cpp   RESOURCES += qdarkstyle/style.qrc``

-  Load the stylesheet:

.. code:: c++
    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);       qApp->setStyleSheet(ts.readAll());   }

*Note: The ":" in the file name is necessary to define that file as a
resource library. For more information see the discussion
`here <https://github.com/ColinDuquesnoy/QDarkStyleSheet/pull/87>`__.*

Usage
-----

Here is an example using PySide

.. code:: python

    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_pyside())

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

To use another wrapper for Qt, you need to replace some lines. See
examples below.

To use PyQt4, change two lines

.. code:: python

    from PySide import QtGui
    app.setStyleSheet(qdarkstyle.load_stylesheet_pyqt())

If PyQt5, more lines need to be changed because of its API, see the
complete example

.. code:: python

    import sys
    import qdarkstyle
    from PyQt5 import QtWidgets

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

    # setup stylesheet
    app.setStyleSheet(qdarkstyle.load_stylesheet_pyqt5())

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

If your project uses QtPy or you need to set it programmatically, it is
far more simple

.. code:: python

    import sys
    import qdarkstyle
    import os

    # set the environment variable to use a specific wrapper
    # it can be set to pyqt, pyqt5, pyside or pyside2 (not implemented yet)
    # you do not need to use QtPy to set this variable
    os.environ['QT_API'] = 'pyqt'

    # import from QtPy instead of doing it directly
    # note that QtPy always uses PyQt5 API
    from qtpy import QtWidgets

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

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

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

It is also simple if you use PyQtGraph

.. code:: python

    import sys
    import qdarkstyle
    import os

    # set the environment variable to use a specific wrapper
    # it can be set to PyQt, PyQt5, PySide or PySide2 (not implemented yet)
    os.environ['PYQTGRAPH_QT_LIB'] = 'PyQt'

    # import from pyqtgraph instead of doing it directly
    # note that PyQtGraph always uses PyQt4 API
    from pyqtgraph.Qt import QtGui

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

    # setup stylesheet
    app.setStyleSheet(qdarkstyle.load_stylesheet_from_environment(is_pyqtgraph=True))

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

If you are using Qt.py, which is different from qtpy, you should install
qtpy then set both to the same binding.

*There is an example included in the *example* folder. You can run the
script without installing qdarkstyle. You only need to have PySide or
PySide2 or PyQt4 or PyQt5 installed on your system.*

What is new?
------------

In the version 2.6 and later, a reestructure stylesheet is provided. The
palette has only 9 colors. Most widgets are revised and their styles
were improved. We also provide a command line (script) to get info that
could be used when opening issues. See the image below.

    qdarkstyle --all
