I am working on a custom control box (that min,max/restore/close button in the top right of your Windows titlebar) for my new application. I use closeIcon = style.standardIcon(QStyle.SP_TitleBarCloseButton) to get the correct icon for them. See the full code here in my other SO question. What I got is a black icon. In which I need the white version when it's in hover state.
Can we .. I don't know, inverse it? Or should I get another icon from QStyle?
This question (and several others) are from the intention of creating a chrome like tab in PyQt application, by hiding the titlebar and reimplementing control box. But it didn't gives the best result. Right now this is my solution to create a chrome like tab in PyQt application. Therefore, I close this question.

I am new in using the ControlsFx library and what i am trying to do is to adjust some properties of the ERROR_IMAGE from GraphicValidationDecoration. For example, I want to use the same image for validations, but with another positioning(default is bottom left) and another size. Is that posssible?
I tried using StyleClassValidationDecoration, but i think that's just for the textfield itself, not the icon i am talking about.
I read that this was also requested by the community but i did not find the implementantion for it (https://bitbucket.org/controlsfx/controlsfx/issues/788/make-style-of-graphicvalidationdecoration)
I am creating File Manager like Miller column app for windows in JavaFX for learning purpose.
Check the screenshot below:
As you can see, when toolbar exceeds, there comes a double arrow button for more items to select from popup.
I already did auto scroll for miller column, which works as expected.
scrollPane.hvalueProperty().bind(hBox.widthProperty());
I would like to auto scroll toolbar to last item and show double arrow on left side.
I am adding adding clickable buttons in toolbar for traversing like manual BreadCumBar.
Tried ControlsFX BreadCumBar, it doesn't even show arrows or popup when exceeds, Bug here : https://bitbucket.org/controlsfx/controlsfx/issues/810/no-double-arrow-popup-like-when.
If its not possible to do so with toolbar, I would like to know how to customize toolbar popup only via css. Or any other way that improve usability easiness.
Also I would love to know suggestions for whole app from expert designers.
Thanks.
This is probably simple, though I can't find the correct CSS trick to handle this one.
I want to have this kind of button-group (separated with lines, containing a context menu ) in Qt. They must have native look and feel (not like below examples) so the only needed change seems to be removing rounded corners of a QPushButton from its right side (for left-most button), left side (for right most button) and both (for buttons in the middle).
Qt does not support this. You can use CSS to style the buttons like in the example, but you can not use natively styled buttons like this.
If you really need this, the only option I see is to write custom controls for this, with customized drawing code for each OS GUI style you want to support.
You could also try to use standard buttons that overlap and use custom code to paint some kind of line over the overlapping region, but I don't think that would be a good solution.
I would like to achieve with QML a menu with a single menu item, like chrome does it. It has this button with those three horizontal bars and when you click it you get a single menu. Recent versions of firefox also follow the same principle. It allows not to waste too much horizontal space in the GUI of the application, unline usual menus which take up the whole width of the window.
I did not manage to reproduce exactly this GUI with QML. From what I saw you can either use a QML ApplicationWindow, and then a MenuBar, but then it takes the whole width of the window... Or have a toggle button to trigger the menu, then use a standalone Menu and its popup() method, but then it pops-up directly under the cursor, not exactly under the button to open the menu, which doesn't look good. That's really more abusing the mechanism for a context menu.
I could make a fake menu which would be a custom widget in my window but then it could not expand beyond my application window. Such a behaviour is almost required because I'll put this button on the far right of the window, as chrome does it.
Is it possible to achieve exactly that behaviour in pure QML (no C++)?
What I did for now is the last option that I mentioned: fake menu in the window. It's drawing using the canvas which enables me to make it a little pointy arrow from the menu to the menu toggle button, as done also by firefox.
The minus as I said is that the menu cannot go out of the window, plus everything is very manual (mouseover effect for menu items...), so I'm still interested in other solutions.
EDIT: ok after some time I realized a big plus of my approach: I can put custom widgets, not only labels in the menu. So I think it's absolutely the right approach now.
Does anyone have idea on how to style this rectangular button -which is a default child of a QToolbar?
First two images show the button when the graphical interface is on normal screen mode. It appears; since toolbar icons don't have enough space. Third picture shows fullscreen mode, in which my icons have space.
I want to style its shape, so that it has a radial border, without a corner. This will cancel its ugly look, in second image.
I want to let users use the interface in normal view, so locking application to fullscreen is not an option. I do want to use the button, so removing is not acceptable. Styling its position to 5 pixels left or replacing it with another stylable button could be possible solutions, but I couldn't manage to do them.
I played a lot with toolbutton and pushbutton stylesheets, but had no luck on styling this small button. I am pretty obsessed about my graphical design, but don't want to waste too much time (if solution is not trivial, I will change my toolbar to a rectangular one).
Thanks in advance.
I found the solution by listing the children object names of my toolbar.
QStringList list;
for(int i=0; i<toolBar->children()->size(); i++)
list.append(toolBar->children()[i]->objectName();
Inside the list, there is only one object that has a default name (not " "). It is qt_toolbar_ext_button
Then I was able to style it as:
"#qt_toolbar_ext_button { //... }"
I know this has been answered, but for anyone who needs to know the answer its a "QToolButton" and if you need to style a specific button with an object name you do "QToolButton#objectName" in an external resources file stylesheet or in the Widget UI stylesheet dialog for different objects.
QToolButton#objectName {
}
Check out the documentation - http://doc.qt.digia.com/4.2/stylesheet.html
This gives you the syntax for stylesheets in Qt, or "QSS" files.
Just do it: Qt documentation about stylesheets
