No, what is shown on the screenshots cannot be done with CSS styling. It
might be possible with complex custom delegates but then you have to
implement a lot of code simulating other widgets within the delegate.
Some of the elements shown on the screen shots are not simple QLabels
but push buttons, menu buttons and even custom widgets. That is simply
not supported by tree views.
Of course it might not be needed to have such complex layouts and
collections of widgets in the tree view for the planned redesign of
project mode. I just want to say that I would like something "cool":
improved usability and still looking good.
Regards, Jochen
