Custom colors

Color Tool is the best way to generate new themes, just choose colors and export as Android XML, the theme file must look like:

<!--?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?-->
<resources>
<color name="primaryColor">#00e5ff</color>
<color name="primaryLightColor">#6effff</color>
<color name="secondaryColor">#f5f5f5</color>
<color name="secondaryLightColor">#ffffff</color>
<color name="secondaryDarkColor">#e6e6e6</color>
<color name="primaryTextColor">#555555</color>
<color name="secondaryTextColor">#3c3c3c</color>
</resources>

Save it as my_theme.xml or similar and apply the style sheet from Python.

apply_stylesheet(app, theme='dark_teal.xml')

Light themes

Light themes will need to add invert_secondary argument as True.

apply_stylesheet(app, theme='light_red.xml', invert_secondary=True)

Environ variables

There is a environ variables related with the current theme used.

Environ variable Description Example
QTMATERIAL_PRIMARYCOLOR Primary color #2979ff
QTMATERIAL_PRIMARYLIGHTCOLOR A bright version of the primary color #75a7ff
QTMATERIAL_SECONDARYCOLOR Secondary color #f5f5f5
QTMATERIAL_SECONDARYLIGHTCOLOR A bright version of the secondary color #ffffff
QTMATERIAL_SECONDARYDARKCOLOR A dark version of the primary color #e6e6e6
QTMATERIAL_PRIMARYTEXTCOLOR Color for text over primary background #000000
QTMATERIAL_SECONDARYTEXTCOLOR Color for text over secondary background #000000
QTMATERIAL_THEME Name of theme used light_blue.xml

Alternative QPushButtons and custom fonts

There is an extra argument for accent colors and custom fonts.

extra = {

    # Button colors
    'danger': '#dc3545',
    'warning': '#ffc107',
    'success': '#17a2b8',

    # Font
    'font-family': 'Roboto',
}

apply_stylesheet(app, 'light_cyan.xml', invert_secondary=True, extra=extra)

The accent colors are applied to QPushButton with the corresponding class property:

pushButton_danger.setProperty('class', 'danger')
pushButton_warning.setProperty('class', 'warning')
pushButton_success.setProperty('class', 'success')

extra

Custom stylesheets

Custom changes can be performed by overwriting the stylesheets, for example:

QPushButton {{
  color: {QTMATERIAL_SECONDARYCOLOR};
  text-transform: none;
  background-color: {QTMATERIAL_PRIMARYCOLOR};
}}

.big_button {{
  height: 64px;
}}

Then, the current stylesheet can be extended just with:

apply_stylesheet(app, theme='light_blue.xml')

stylesheet = app.styleSheet()
with open('custom.css') as file:
    app.setStyleSheet(stylesheet + file.read().format(**os.environ))

And the class style can be applied with the setProperty method:

self.main.pushButton.setProperty('class', 'big_button')

extra

Run examples

A window with almost all widgets (see the previous screenshots) are available to test all themes and create new ones.

git clone https://github.com/UN-GCPDS/qt-material.git
cd qt-material
python setup.py install
cd test
python main.py --PySide6

theme

New themes

Do you have a custom theme? it looks good? create a pull request in themes folder and share it with all users.

Change theme in runtime

There is a qt_material.QtStyleTools class that must be inherited along to QMainWindow for change themes in runtime using the apply_stylesheet() method.

class RuntimeStylesheets(QMainWindow, QtStyleTools):

    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        self.main = QUiLoader().load('main_window.ui', self)

        self.apply_stylesheet(self.main, 'dark_teal.xml')
        # self.apply_stylesheet(self.main, 'light_red.xml')
        # self.apply_stylesheet(self.main, 'light_blue.xml')

run

Integrate stylesheets in a menu

A custom stylesheets menu can be added to a project for switching across all default available themes.

class RuntimeStylesheets(QMainWindow, QtStyleTools):

    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        self.main = QUiLoader().load('main_window.ui', self)

        self.add_menu_theme(self.main, self.main.menuStyles)

menu

Create new themes

A simple interface is available to modify a theme in runtime, this feature can be used to create a new theme, the theme file is created in the main directory as my_theme.xml

class RuntimeStylesheets(QMainWindow, QtStyleTools):

    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        self.main = QUiLoader().load('main_window.ui', self)

        self.show_dock_theme(self.main)

dock
