It does seem from what you and others say that stylesheets (and delegate 
objects) are the key to customization.  However, the overlap of QStyle and 
stylesheet is a little not clear, like part of Trolltech went with QStyle, 
and the other with stylesheet.  And I am not a graphic artist, so really 
have no hope of looking as good as what I could have if using the canned 
.NET components.

I would love it if Qt would come with some prebuilt styles or whatever is 
required to show off these types of things.  Actually, QtDemo looks pretty 
good, but it too could be improved to more state of the art.
