Using variables in qt StyleSheets

Question

Is there any possibility of giving variable name to hex/rgb numbers in .qss file . For eh

myColor = #FFCC08
QPushButton { background-color: myColor;}
         


        

Answer 1

What you're trying to accomplish simply isn't possible using pure Qt style sheets.

You can achieve a similar effect by modifying and reloading your style sheets from within your C++ code, for example:

QString myColor = "#FFCC08";
QString styleSheet = "QPushButton { background-color: %1;}";
...
myWidget->setStyleSheet( styleSheet.arg(myColor) );

Unfortunately this has several drawbacks (inability to preview in designer, changing code rather than a style sheet), but it's about as close as you can get to what you're trying to achieve with Qt.
