📦 version 3.3.8b, in fedora 43, fedora 44

💖 QStylePlugin — the 3qt era, bestie edition 💖

okay so like, welcome to QStylePlugin(3qt), the manual page that's about to make plugins make sense. grab a boba, sit down, we're doing this 🧋✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

QStylePlugin — the abstract base for custom QStyle plugins. yes, abstract. no, you can't just instantiate it, she's a blueprint, a template, a vibe 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <qstyleplugin.h>

🫶 Public Members

QStylePlugin ()
~QStylePlugin ()
virtual QStringList keys () const = 0
virtual QStyle * create ( const QString & key ) = 0

like, look at that. two pure virtuals. she said "implement me yourself, queen" 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

The QStylePlugin class provides an abstract base for custom QStyle plugins. periodt.

The style plugin is a simple plugin interface that makes it easy to create custom styles that can be loaded dynamically into applications with a QStyleFactory. no cap, that's the whole point — plug it in, the app picks it up, slay 🌈

Writing a style plugin is achieved by:

  1. subclassing this base class,
  2. reimplementing the pure virtual functions keys() and create(),
  3. and exporting the class with the Q_EXPORT_PLUGIN macro.

See the plugins documentation for an example. it's giving tutorial energy, go read it 📖

See also: Plugins.

👑 MEMBER FUNCTION DOCUMENTATION 👑

QStylePlugin::QStylePlugin ()

Constructs a style plugin. This is invoked automatically by the Q_EXPORT_PLUGIN macro. so like… you don't call her, she calls you 😌

QStylePlugin::~QStylePlugin ()

Destroys the style plugin.

You never have to call this explicitly. Qt destroys a plugin automatically when it is no longer used. the cleanup is handled, bestie, don't stress 🧚

QStyle * QStylePlugin::create ( const QString & key ) [pure virtual]

Creates and returns a QStyle object for the style key key. The style key is usually the class name of the required style.

See also: keys().

QStringList QStylePlugin::keys () const [pure virtual]

Returns the list of style keys this plugin supports.

These keys are usually the class names of the custom styles that are implemented in the plugin.

See also: create().

ngl the two pure virtuals are literally a duo — keys() says what you got, create() hands it over. main character energy, both of them 💜
