QuantumStyle

QuantumStyle is an SVG themable style for Qt 4 and KDE.

Announcing the QuantumStyle Release Candidate. Stable and Ready to Use.

Themes are designed in SVG files (e.g. in Inkscape).
It can use :
* a per application theme (in ~/.config/QuantumStyle/appName/appName.svg). Application name is guessed from QApplication::applicationName().
* a user set theme (in ~/.config/QuantumStyle/yourTheme/yourTheme.svg)
* a default theme (embedded into the style)

When drawing a widget, the style first looks for application specific one, then falls back into user set theme, then falls back to default theme.

To take into account color scheme, the SVG objects can use alpha :)


INSTALLATION
1. qmake && make
2. copy (or symlink) libquantumstyle.so to (from) your Qt4 styles plugin directory (/usr/lib/qt4/plugins/styles/ for me)

MAKE YOUR OWN THEME
Read the documentation in the doc/ directory

The style should appear on kde style settings dialog and qtconfig. You may run kbuildsycoca4 if not.

* some missing widgets
