[Interest] Styling Qt Widgets with Qt Quick

[Noah Davis]

I've decided that I'm probably better off just writing a normal QStyle
and keeping an eye out for what Qt has planned for unifying Qt Quick
and Qt Widgets theming (https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-68814).
Sorry for replying so late.

This is what we did for our app. There are a lot of subtle interactions with CSS and each particular desktop environment which can take some time to work through but since you are only working on a Linux distribution you should be fine.
