Use style sheets with Qt Designer
In this example, we will learn how to change the look and feel of our program and make it look more professional by using style sheets and resources. Qt allows you to decorate your Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs) using a style sheet language called Qt Style Sheets, which is very similar to Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) used by web designers to decorate their websites.
How to do it…
- The first thing we need to do is open up Qt Creator and create a new project. If this is the first time you have used Qt Creator, you can either click the big button that says New Project with a + sign, or simply go to File | New File or New Project.
- Then, select Application under the Project window and select Qt Widgets Application.
