QStyleFactory(3qt)

📦 version 3.3.8b, in fedora 43, fedora 44

💖 QStyleFactory 💖 (that's QStyleFactory(3qt) bestie, from the Qt fam)

okay so. sit down. hydrate. we're talking about QStyleFactory — the class whose whole entire job is creating QStyle objects. that's it. that's the vibe. it's the plug that makes your widgets look like something. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

QStyleFactory — creates QStyle objects. no cap, that's literally the whole personality.

🌈 SYNOPSIS 🌈

#include <qstylefactory.h>

🌸 Static Public Members 🌸

QStringList keys ()
QStyle * create ( const QString & key )

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

The QStyleFactory class creates QStyle objects. yes bestie, the class name is the job description, we love an honest queen.

So here's the tea: the style factory creates a QStyle object for a given key, and it does that with QStyleFactory::create(key).

The styles are either built-in or dynamically loaded from a style plugin (peep QStylePlugin for that one 👀).

QStyleFactory::keys() hands you back a list of valid keys, and typically that list includes "Windows", "Motif", "CDE", "MotifPlus", "Platinum", " SGI" and "Compact". (yes the " SGI" has a leading space, i'm not touching it, it's iconic and it's staying exactly like that 🫶)

Depending on the platform, "WindowsXP", " Aqua" or "Macintosh" may be available. so like… what you get is lowkey platform-dependent, just a heads up. (and yep, " Aqua" also has a lil leading space. we don't ask questions. we respect the lore.)

👑 MEMBER FUNCTION DOCUMENTATION 👑

🌟 QStyle * QStyleFactory::create ( const QString & key ) [static]

Creates a QStyle object that matches key case-insensitively. so "windows", "WINDOWS", "WiNdOwS" — all fine, she's not picky. 💅

This is either a built-in style, or a style from a style plugin. either way you're getting a style out of it.

See also keys().

Example: themes/wood.cpp.

🦋 QStringList QStyleFactory::keys () [static]

Returns the list of keys this factory can create styles for. that's it. that's the function. go off.

See also create().

Example: themes/themes.cpp.
