Using variables in qt StyleSheets

Question

Is there any possibility of giving variable name to hex/rgb numbers in .qss file . For eh

myColor = #FFCC08
QPushButton { background-color: myColor;}
         


        

Answer 1

Another way to accomplish this would be to use Dynamic Properties. This would let you easily assign multiple properties to an object or group of objects, sort of like assigning a css class to an object. https://wiki.qt.io/Dynamic_Properties_and_Stylesheets

For example, in your UI file, you could add a string dynamic property "colorStyle" with a value of "myStyle1".

Your stylesheet would look like:

QPushButton[colorStyle='myStyle1'] {
    background-color: #FFCC08;
    ... any other style changes...
}

Any QPushButton you assign 'myStyle1' will follow the stylesheet if you set it globally.
