QResource::registerResource("darkstyle.qrc") registers the resource description. If you want to use resources dynamically like this you need to register the compiled resources themselves. Run rcc -binary darkstyle.qrc -o darkstyle.rcc and use QResource::registerResource("darkstyle.rcc")

Alternatively, compile the resources into your binary directly. Do do so, use RESOURCES += darkstyle.qrc in your .qrc, and leave out the QResource::registerResource.
