[Interest] Qt5 CSS StyleSheet Variables

[Michael Jackson]

This was the route I was in the process of designing up with a combination of JSON to store the values that we want to allow users to change. 

Thank you for the verification of the process.

    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
