Detailed Description

The QStyle class is an abstract base class that encapsulates the look and feel of a GUI.

Qt contains a set of QStyle subclasses that emulate the styles of the different platforms supported by Qt (QWindowsStyle, QMacStyle, QMotifStyle, etc.). By default, these styles are built into the QtGui library. Styles can also be made available as plugins.

Qt's built-in widgets use QStyle to perform nearly all of their drawing, ensuring that they look exactly like the equivalent native widgets. The diagram below shows a QComboBox in six different styles.

Six combo boxes

Topics:

Setting a Style

The style of the entire application can be set using the QApplication::setStyle() function. It can also be specified by the user of the application, using the -style command-line option:

 ./myapplication -style motif

If no style is specified, Qt will choose the most appropriate style for the user's platform or desktop environment.

A style can also be set on an individual widget using the QWidget::setStyle() function.

Developing Style-Aware Custom Widgets

If you are developing custom widgets and want them to look good on all platforms, you can use QStyle functions to perform parts of the widget drawing, such as drawItemText(), drawItemPixmap(), drawPrimitive(), drawControl(), and drawComplexControl().

Most QStyle draw functions take four arguments:

  • an enum value specifying which graphical element to draw
  • a QStyleOption specifying how and where to render that element
  • a QPainter that should be used to draw the element
  • a QWidget on which the drawing is performed (optional)

For example, if you want to draw a focus rectangle on your widget, you can write:

 void MyWidget::paintEvent(QPaintEvent * /* event */)
 {
     QPainter painter(this);

     QStyleOptionFocusRect option;
     option.initFrom(this);
     option.backgroundColor = palette().color(QPalette::Background);

     style()->drawPrimitive(QStyle::PE_FrameFocusRect, &option, &painter, this);
 }

QStyle gets all the information it needs to render the graphical element from QStyleOption. The widget is passed as the last argument in case the style needs it to perform special effects (such as animated default buttons on Mac OS X), but it isn't mandatory. In fact, you can use QStyle to draw on any paint device, not just widgets, by setting the QPainter properly.

QStyleOption has various subclasses for the various types of graphical elements that can be drawn. For example, PE_FrameFocusRect expects a QStyleOptionFocusRect argument.

To ensure that drawing operations are as fast as possible, QStyleOption and its subclasses have public data members. See the QStyleOption class documentation for details on how to use it.

For convenience, Qt provides the QStylePainter class, which combines a QStyle, a QPainter, and a QWidget. This makes it possible to write

     QStylePainter painter(this);
     ...
     painter.drawPrimitive(QStyle::PE_FrameFocusRect, option);

instead of

     QPainter painter(this);
     ...
     style()->drawPrimitive(QStyle::PE_FrameFocusRect, &option, &painter, this);

Creating a Custom Style

If you want to design a custom look and feel for your application, the first step is to pick one of the base styles provided with Qt to build your custom style from. The choice will depend on which existing style resembles your style the most.

Depending on which parts of the base style you want to change, you must reimplement the functions that are used to draw those parts of the interface. To illustrate this, we will modify the look of the spin box arrows drawn by QWindowsStyle. The arrows are primitive elements that are drawn by the drawPrimitive() function, so we need to reimplement that function. We need the following class declaration:

 class CustomStyle : public QWindowsStyle
 {
     Q_OBJECT

 public:
     CustomStyle()
     ~CustomStyle() {}

     void drawPrimitive(PrimitiveElement element, const QStyleOption *option,
                        QPainter *painter, const QWidget *widget) const;
 };

To draw its up and down arrows, QSpinBox uses the PE_IndicatorSpinUp and PE_IndicatorSpinDown primitive elements. Here's how to reimplement the drawPrimitive() function to draw them differently:

 void CustomStyle::drawPrimitive(PrimitiveElement element, const QStyleOption *option,
                                 QPainter *painter, const QWidget *widget) const
 {
     if (element == PE_IndicatorSpinUp || element == PE_IndicatorSpinDown) {
         QPolygon points(3);
         int x = option->rect.x();
         int y = option->rect.y();
         int w = option->rect.width() / 2;
         int h = option->rect.height() / 2;
         x += (option->rect.width() - w) / 2;
         y += (option->rect.height() - h) / 2;

         if (element == PE_IndicatorSpinUp) {
             points[0] = QPoint(x, y + h);
             points[1] = QPoint(x + w, y + h);
             points[2] = QPoint(x + w / 2, y);
         } else { // PE_SpinBoxDown
             points[0] = QPoint(x, y);
             points[1] = QPoint(x + w, y);
             points[2] = QPoint(x + w / 2, y + h);
         }

         if (option->state & State_Enabled) {
             painter->setPen(option->palette.mid().color());
             painter->setBrush(option->palette.buttonText());
         } else {
             painter->setPen(option->palette.buttonText().color());
             painter->setBrush(option->palette.mid());
         }
         painter->drawPolygon(points);
     } else {
         QWindowsStyle::drawPrimitive(element, option, painter, widget);
     }
 }

Notice that we don't use the widget argument, except to pass it on to the QWindowStyle::drawPrimitive() function. As mentioned earlier, the information about what is to be drawn and how it should be drawn is specified by a QStyleOption object, so there is no need to ask the widget.

If you need to use the widget argument to obtain additional information, be careful to ensure that it isn't 0 and that it is of the correct type before using it. For example:

     QSpinBox *spinBox = qobject_cast<QSpinBox *>(widget);
     if (spinBox) {
     ...
     }

When implementing a custom style, you cannot assume that the widget is a QSpinBox just because the enum value is called PE_IndicatorSpinUp or PE_IndicatorSpinUp.

The documentation for the Styles example covers this topic in more detail.

Using a Custom Style

There are several ways of using a custom style in a Qt application. The simplest way is call the QApplication::setStyle() static function before creating the QApplication object:

 #include <QtGui>

 #include "customstyle.h"

 int main(int argc, char *argv[])
 {
     QApplication::setStyle(new CustomStyle);
     QApplication app(argc, argv);
     QSpinBox spinBox;
     spinBox.show();
     return app.exec();
 }

You can call QApplication::setStyle() at any time, but by calling it before the constructor, you ensure that the user's preference, set using the -style command-line option, is respected.

You may want to make your style available for use in other applications, some of which may not be yours and are not available for you to recompile. The Qt Plugin system makes it possible to create styles as plugins. Styles created as plugins are loaded as shared objects at runtime by Qt itself. Please refer to the Qt Plugin documentation for more information on how to go about creating a style plugin.

Compile your plugin and put it into Qt's plugins/styles directory. We now have a pluggable style that Qt can load automatically. To use your new style with existing applications, simply start the application with the following argument:

 ./myapplication -style custom

The application will use the look and feel from the custom style you implemented.

Right-to-Left Desktops

Languages written from right to left (such as Arabic and Hebrew) usually also mirror the whole layout of widgets, and require the light to come from the screen's top-right corner instead of top-left.

If you create a custom style, you should take special care when drawing asymmetric elements to make sure that they also look correct in a mirrored layout. An easy way to test your styles is to run applications with the -reverse command-line option or to call QApplication::setLayoutDirection() in your main() function.

Here are some things to keep in mind when making a style work well in a right-to-left environment:

Member Function Documentation

QStyle::QStyle ()

Constructs a style object.

QStyle::~QStyle ()   [virtual]

Destroys the style object.

QRect QStyle::alignedRect ( Qt::LayoutDirection direction, Qt::Alignment alignment, const QSize & size, const QRect & rectangle )   [static]

Returns a new rectangle of the specified size that is aligned to the given rectangle according to the specified alignment and direction.

void QStyle::drawComplexControl ( ComplexControl control, const QStyleOptionComplex * option, QPainter * painter, const QWidget * widget = 0 ) const   [pure virtual]

Draws the given control using the provided painter with the style options specified by option.

The widget argument is optional and can be used as aid in drawing the control.

The option parameter is a pointer to a QStyleOptionComplex object that can be casted to the correct subclass using the qstyleoption_cast() function. Note that the rect member of the specified option must be in logical coordinates. Reimplementations of this function should use visualRect() to change the logical coordinates into screen coordinates before calling the drawPrimitive() or drawControl() function.

The table below is listing the complex control elements and their associated style option subclass. The style options contain all the parameters required to draw the controls, including QStyleOption::state which holds the style flags that are used when drawing. The table also describes which flags that are set when casting the given option to the appropriate subclass.

void QStyle::drawItemPixmap ( QPainter * painter, const QRect & rectangle, int alignment, const QPixmap & pixmap ) const   [virtual]

Draws the given pixmap in the specified rectangle, according to the specified alignment, using the provided painter.

See also drawItemText().

void QStyle::drawItemText ( QPainter * painter, const QRect & rectangle, int alignment, const QPalette & palette, bool enabled, const QString & text, QPalette::ColorRole textRole = QPalette::NoRole ) const   [virtual]

Draws the given text in the specified rectangle using the provided painter and palette.

The text is drawn using the painter's pen, and aligned and wrapped according to the specified alignment. If an explicit textRole is specified, the text is drawn using the palette's color for the given role. The enabled parameter indicates whether or not the item is enabled; when reimplementing this function, the enabled parameter should influence how the item is drawn.

See also Qt::Alignment and drawItemPixmap().

void QStyle::drawPrimitive ( PrimitiveElement element, const QStyleOption * option, QPainter * painter, const QWidget * widget = 0 ) const   [pure virtual]

Draws the given primitive element with the provided painter using the style options specified by option.

The widget argument is optional and may contain a widget that may aid in drawing the primitive element.

The table below is listing the primitive elements and their associated style option subclasses. The style options contain all the parameters required to draw the elements, including QStyleOption::state which holds the style flags that are used when drawing. The table also describes which flags that are set when casting the given option to the appropriate subclass.

Note that if a primitive element is not listed here, it is because it uses a plain QStyleOption object.

QPixmap QStyle::generatedIconPixmap ( QIcon::Mode iconMode, const QPixmap & pixmap, const QStyleOption * option ) const   [pure virtual]

Returns a copy of the given pixmap, styled to conform to the specified iconMode and taking into account the palette specified by option.

The option parameter can pass extra information, but it must contain a palette.

Note that not all pixmaps will conform, in which case the returned pixmap is a plain copy.

See also QIcon.

SubControl QStyle::hitTestComplexControl ( ComplexControl control, const QStyleOptionComplex * option, const QPoint & position, const QWidget * widget = 0 ) const   [pure virtual]

Returns the sub control at the given position in the given complex control (with the style options specified by option).

Note that the position is expressed in screen coordinates.

The option argument is a pointer to a QStyleOptionComplex object (or one of its subclasses). The object can be casted to the appropriate type using the qstyleoption_cast() function. See drawComplexControl() for details. The widget argument is optional and can contain additional information for the function.

See also drawComplexControl() and subControlRect().

QRect QStyle::itemPixmapRect ( const QRect & rectangle, int alignment, const QPixmap & pixmap ) const   [virtual]

Returns the area within the given rectangle in which to draw the specified pixmap according to the defined alignment.

QRect QStyle::itemTextRect ( const QFontMetrics & metrics, const QRect & rectangle, int alignment, bool enabled, const QString & text ) const   [virtual]

Returns the area within the given rectangle in which to draw the provided text according to the specified font metrics and alignment. The enabled parameter indicates whether or not the associated item is enabled.

If the given rectangle is larger than the area needed to render the text, the rectangle that is returned will be offset within rectangle according to the specified alignment. For example, if alignment is Qt::AlignCenter, the returned rectangle will be centered within rectangle. If the given rectangle is smaller than the area needed, the returned rectangle will be the smallest rectangle large enough to render the text.

See also Qt::Alignment.

int QStyle::pixelMetric ( PixelMetric metric, const QStyleOption * option = 0, const QWidget * widget = 0 ) const   [pure virtual]

Returns the value of the given pixel metric.

The specified option and widget can be used for calculating the metric. In general, the widget argument is not used. The option can be cast to the appropriate type using the qstyleoption_cast() function. Note that the option may be zero even for PixelMetrics that can make use of it. See the table below for the appropriate option casts:

Pixel MetricQStyleOption Subclass
PM_SliderControlThicknessQStyleOptionSlider
PM_SliderLengthQStyleOptionSlider
PM_SliderTickmarkOffsetQStyleOptionSlider

void QStyle::polish ( QWidget * widget )   [virtual]

Initializes the appearance of the given widget.

This function is called for every widget at some point after it has been fully created but just before it is shown for the very first time.

Note that the default implementation does nothing. Reasonable actions in this function might be to call the QWidget::setBackgroundMode() function for the widget. Do not use the function to set, for example, the geometry; reimplementing this function do provide a back-door through which the appearance of a widget can be changed, but with Qt 4.0's style engine there is rarely necessary to implement this function; reimplement the drawItemPixmap(), drawItemText(), drawPrimitive(), etc. instead.

The QWidget::inherits() function may provide enough information to allow class-specific customizations. But because new QStyle subclasses are expected to work reasonably with all current and future widgets, limited use of hard-coded customization is recommended.

See also unpolish().

void QStyle::polish ( QApplication * application )   [virtual]

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience.

Late initialization of the given application object.

void QStyle::polish ( QPalette & palette )   [virtual]

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience.

Changes the palette according to style specific requirements for color palettes (if any).

See also QPalette and QApplication::setPalette().

QSize QStyle::sizeFromContents ( ContentsType type, const QStyleOption * option, const QSize & contentsSize, const QWidget * widget = 0 ) const   [pure virtual]

Returns the size of the element described by the specified option and type, based on the provided contentsSize.

The option argument is a pointer to a QStyleOption or one of its subclasses. The option can be cast to the appropriate type using the qstyleoption_cast() function. The widget is an optional argument and can contain extra information used for calculating the size.

See the table below for the appropriate option casts:

Contents TypeQStyleOption Subclass
CT_PushButtonQStyleOptionButton
CT_CheckBoxQStyleOptionButton
CT_RadioButtonQStyleOptionButton
CT_ToolButtonQStyleOptionToolButton
CT_ComboBoxQStyleOptionComboBox
CT_SplitterQStyleOption

int QStyle::sliderPositionFromValue ( int min, int max, int logicalValue, int span, bool upsideDown = false )   [static]

Converts the given logicalValue to a pixel position. The min parameter maps to 0, max maps to span and other values are distributed evenly in-between.

This function can handle the entire integer range without overflow, providing that span is less than 4096.

By default, this function assumes that the maximum value is on the right for horizontal items and on the bottom for vertical items. Set the upsideDown parameter to true to reverse this behavior.

See also sliderValueFromPosition().

int QStyle::sliderValueFromPosition ( int min, int max, int position, int span, bool upsideDown = false )   [static]

Converts the given pixel position to a logical value. 0 maps to the min parameter, span maps to max and other values are distributed evenly in-between.

This function can handle the entire integer range without overflow.

By default, this function assumes that the maximum value is on the right for horizontal items and on the bottom for vertical items. Set the upsideDown parameter to true to reverse this behavior.

See also sliderPositionFromValue().

QIcon QStyle::standardIcon ( StandardPixmap standardIcon, const QStyleOption * option = 0, const QWidget * widget = 0 ) const

Returns an icon for the given standardIcon.

The standardIcon is a standard pixmap which can follow some existing GUI style or guideline. The option argument can be used to pass extra information required when defining the appropriate icon. The widget argument is optional and can also be used to aid the determination of the icon.

Warning: Because of binary compatibility constraints, this function is not virtual. If you want to provide your own icons in a QStyle subclass, reimplement the standardIconImplementation() slot in your subclass instead. The standardIcon() function will dynamically detect the slot and call it.

This function was introduced in Qt 4.1.

See also standardIconImplementation() and standardPixmap().

QIcon QStyle::standardIconImplementation ( StandardPixmap standardIcon, const QStyleOption * option = 0, const QWidget * widget = 0 ) const   [protected slot]

Returns an icon for the given standardIcon.

Reimplement this slot to provide your own icons in a QStyle subclass; because of binary compatibility constraints, the standardIcon() function (introduced in Qt 4.1) is not virtual. Instead, standardIcon() will dynamically detect and call this slot. The default implementation simply calls the standardPixmap() function with the given parameters.

The standardIcon is a standard pixmap which can follow some existing GUI style or guideline. The option argument can be used to pass extra information required when defining the appropriate icon. The widget argument is optional and can also be used to aid the determination of the icon.

This function was introduced in Qt 4.1.

See also standardIcon().

QPalette QStyle::standardPalette () const   [virtual]

Note that on systems that support system colors, the style's standard palette is not used.

QPixmap QStyle::standardPixmap ( StandardPixmap standardPixmap, const QStyleOption * option = 0, const QWidget * widget = 0 ) const   [pure virtual]

Returns a pixmap for the given standardPixmap.

A standard pixmap is a pixmap that can follow some existing GUI style or guideline. The option argument can be used to pass extra information required when defining the appropriate pixmap. The widget argument is optional and can also be used to aid the determination of the pixmap.

See also standardIcon().

int QStyle::styleHint ( StyleHint hint, const QStyleOption * option = 0, const QWidget * widget = 0, QStyleHintReturn * returnData = 0 ) const   [pure virtual]

Returns an integer representing the specified style hint for the given widget described by the provided style option.

Note that currently, the returnData and widget parameters are not used; they are provided for future enhancement. In addition, the option parameter is used only in case of the SH_ComboBox_Popup, SH_ComboBox_LayoutDirection, and SH_GroupBox_TextLabelColor style hints.

QRect QStyle::subControlRect ( ComplexControl control, const QStyleOptionComplex * option, SubControl subControl, const QWidget * widget = 0 ) const   [pure virtual]

Returns the rectangle containing the specified subControl of the given complex control (with the style specified by option). The rectangle is defined in screen coordinates.

The option argument is a pointer to QStyleOptionComplex or one of its subclasses, and can be casted to the appropriate type using the qstyleoption_cast() function. See drawComplexControl() for details. The widget is optional and can contain additional information for the function.

See also drawComplexControl().

QRect QStyle::subElementRect ( SubElement element, const QStyleOption * option, const QWidget * widget = 0 ) const   [pure virtual]

void QStyle::unpolish ( QWidget * widget )   [virtual]

Uninitialize the given widget's appearance.

This function is the counterpart to polish(). It is called for every polished widget whenever the style is dynamically changed; the former style has to unpolish its settings before the new style can polish them again.

See also polish().

void QStyle::unpolish ( QApplication * application )   [virtual]

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience.

Uninitialize the given application.

Qt::Alignment QStyle::visualAlignment ( Qt::LayoutDirection direction, Qt::Alignment alignment )   [static]

Transforms an alignment of Qt::AlignLeft or Qt::AlignRight without Qt::AlignAbsolute into Qt::AlignLeft or Qt::AlignRight with Qt::AlignAbsolute according to the layout direction. The other alignment flags are left untouched.

If no horizontal alignment was specified, the function returns the default alignment for the given layout direction.

QWidget::layoutDirection

QPoint QStyle::visualPos ( Qt::LayoutDirection direction, const QRect & boundingRectangle, const QPoint & logicalPosition )   [static]
