[Qt-interest] Preferred method of making embedded linux application themable ?

[Jason H]

Late to the party -

Use the UI files to specify the controls and their names
Then use Qt's CSS support to set the visuals for the controls. I've done this before and it works.

reply is inline. I was not sure of putting it inline as mail was big.
But I deleted rest of the mail that was not very relevant to current 
discussion.

My application is for a set top box and UI team keep coming up with lot 
of screens(with backgrounds, animations, arrows and small embedded 
animations) that dont fit into any of the default widget. QStyle and 
styled Items give a lot of flexibility though. But now when I have 
started using them, I find that there are no straight forward approaches 
to caching(to improve paint performance) as there are in QGraphicsItems 
(eg. itemcoordinatecache and deviceCordinateCache). In QGV its very easy 
to have your own caching for repeated paintings.
