import sys
from PySide6 import QtWidgets
# from PySide2 import QtWidgets
# from PyQt5 import QtWidgets

# create the application and the main window
app = QtWidgets.QApplication(sys.argv)
window = QtWidgets.QMainWindow()

# setup stylesheet
apply_stylesheet(app, theme='dark_teal.xml')

# run
window.show()
app.exec_()

Themes

from qt_material import list_themes

list_themes()

WARNING:root:qt_material must be imported after PySide or PyQt!





['dark_amber.xml',
 'dark_blue.xml',
 'dark_cyan.xml',
 'dark_lightgreen.xml',
 'dark_pink.xml',
 'dark_purple.xml',
 'dark_red.xml',
 'dark_teal.xml',
 'dark_yellow.xml',
 'light_amber.xml',
 'light_blue.xml',
 'light_cyan.xml',
 'light_cyan_500.xml',
 'light_lightgreen.xml',
 'light_pink.xml',
 'light_purple.xml',
 'light_red.xml',
 'light_teal.xml',
 'light_yellow.xml']

Custom colors

Color Tool is the best way to generate new themes, just choose colors and export as Android XML, the theme file must look like:

<!--?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?-->
<resources>
<color name="primaryColor">#00e5ff</color>
<color name="primaryLightColor">#6effff</color>
<color name="secondaryColor">#f5f5f5</color>
<color name="secondaryLightColor">#ffffff</color>
<color name="secondaryDarkColor">#e6e6e6</color>
<color name="primaryTextColor">#000000</color>
<color name="secondaryTextColor">#000000</color>
</resources>

Save it as my_theme.xml or similar and apply the style sheet from Python.

apply_stylesheet(app, theme='dark_teal.xml')

Light themes

Light themes will need to add invert_secondary argument as True.

apply_stylesheet(app, theme='light_red.xml', invert_secondary=True)

Run example

A window with almost all widgets (see the previous screenshots) are available to test all themes and create new ones.

git clone https://github.com/UN-GCPDS/qt-material.git
cd qt-material
python setup.py install
cd test
python main.py --PySide6

New themes

Do you have a custom theme? it looks good? create a pull request in themes folder and share it with all users.

Change theme in runtime

There is a qt_material.QtStyleTools class that must be inherited along to QMainWindow for change themes in runtime using the apply_stylesheet() method.

class RuntimeStylesheets(QMainWindow, QtStyleTools):
    
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        self.main = QUiLoader().load('main_window.ui', self)
        
        self.apply_stylesheet(self.main, 'dark_teal.xml')
        # self.apply_stylesheet(self.main, 'light_red.xml')
        # self.apply_stylesheet(self.main, 'light_blue.xml')

Integrate stylesheets in a menu

A custom stylesheets menu can be added to a project for switching across all default available themes.

class RuntimeStylesheets(QMainWindow, QtStyleTools):
    
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        self.main = QUiLoader().load('main_window.ui', self)
        
        self.add_menu_theme(self.main, self.main.menuStyles)

Create new themes

A simple interface is available to modify a theme in runtime, this feature can be used to create a new theme, the theme file is created in the main directory as my_theme.xml

class RuntimeStylesheets(QMainWindow, QtStyleTools):
    
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        self.main = QUiLoader().load('main_window.ui', self)
        
        self.show_dock_theme(self.main)
