Qt style control

I have a qt app that is defaulting to looking like windows 98. Is there some way to get it to look better? I like the appearance it has on GNOME or KDE, but even getting it to look like windows XP would be an improvement.

Solution

  • Take a look at QApplication::setStyle:

    http://doc.qt.digia.com/4.6/qapplication.html#setStyle-2

    The following code should make your application appear in Windows XP style:

    QStyle* xpStyle = new QWindowsXPStyle();
QApplication::setStyle(xpStyle);

    or alternately:

    QApplication::setStyle("windowsxp");
