Quick Start

Quick Start

  1. Copy the selected StyleKit theme files into your Qt project resources or deployment directory.
  2. Load the QSS file when the application starts.
  3. Apply the documented object names or dynamic properties to controls that need variants.
  4. Keep business UI code focused on layout and behavior; avoid hard-coded colors in pages.
QFile file(":/themes/stylekit/light.qss");
if (file.open(QIODevice::ReadOnly)) {
    qApp->setStyleSheet(QString::fromUtf8(file.readAll()));
}
