fluentpyside 0.1.1

Fluent WinUI3 QML style helper for PySide6 (copies assets from local PySide6 install)

FluentPySide

fluentpyside packages the FluentWinUI3 Qt Quick Controls style so PySide6 apps can apply the Fluent theme easily.

Quick Start — three ways

1. Install the wrapper package and use the helper (recommended)

Prerequisites:

• Python 3.8+
• PySide6 (and optionally PySide6-Essentials for upstream plugin binaries)

Install and run:

pip install PySide6
pip install -e .   # from this repository root (development install)
python examples/demo.py

Minimal example (use fluentpyside.set_style):

from PySide6.QtWidgets import QApplication
from PySide6.QtQml import QQmlApplicationEngine
import fluentpyside

app = QApplication([])
engine = QQmlApplicationEngine()

# Ensure package-local QML assets exist (copies from installed PySide6 when missing)
fluentpyside.install_assets()

# Add import path and try to set the QtQuickControls2 style plugin
fluentpyside.set_style(engine=engine)

# Load QML that imports FluentWinUI3
engine.load('examples/gallery.qml')
app.exec()

2. Drag-and-drop the style into a project (no packaging)

• Copy fluentpyside/QtQuick into your project root so there is ./QtQuick/Controls/FluentWinUI3/qmldir.
• In Python, add your project root as a QML import path before loading QML:

from PySide6.QtWidgets import QApplication
from PySide6.QtQml import QQmlApplicationEngine

app = QApplication([])
engine = QQmlApplicationEngine()
engine.addImportPath('path/to/project/root')
engine.load('main.qml')
app.exec()

3. Run the included gallery demo

pip install PySide6
pip install -e .
python examples/demo.py

Files included

• fluentpyside/: Python wrapper and packaged QML assets
• examples/demo.py: demo app that loads examples/gallery.qml
• examples/gallery.qml: QML demo UI (gallery of controls)
• tests/smoke_test.py: non-interactive smoke test

Publishing & GitHub

• I will not publish/delete on your behalf without explicit credentials and confirmation.

• To publish to PyPI locally:

  python -m build python -m twine upload dist/*

• To create or replace a GitHub repo locally with gh:

  gh repo create /FluentPySide --public --source=. --push

  (If you want me to run these steps from this environment, provide the tokens and explicit confirmation.)

Notes and troubleshooting

• Call fluentpyside.set_style(engine=engine) or engine.addImportPath(...) before loading QML that imports QtQuick.Controls.FluentWinUI3.
• The package contains a copy of the QML files and (on Windows) the plugin DLL copied from your local PySide6 installation. Packaging platform binaries for cross-platform distribution is not recommended; instead require PySide6-Essentials on the target platform.

License

• Wrapper: MIT License (file LICENSE)
• Upstream QML assets: copied from the locally installed PySide6 / PySide6-Essentials package. Follow Qt/PySide licensing when redistributing.
