[Interest] Qt5 CSS StyleSheet Variables

[Tony Rietwyk]

Hi Mike,

QStyleSheets are pretty limited, so we:

- load a sass file from Qt resources,

- inject some calculated variables at the start relating to the specific 
app and client screen size,

- process the sass to css

- set the output into QApplication.

This occurs at startup, and whenever the screen changes.

Hope that helps, Tony
