Well... it doesn't actually drip off your tongue does it?
I'm sure someone out there has a killer name...

Cool. Done and done...

So far I've been drawing my own widgets with Qt's painting mechanism; so far they're all based on QFrame. The big one (that I've almost finished) replaces the QListView in all the modules (QDialogs) with a more "car-ish" widget with controls and behaviour so different from QListView itself (or any other Qt widget) that I decided it would be best to do all the primitive drawing myself.
I haven't touched QStyles other than reading through them.
Since all the behaviour and functionality of the widgets I want to use, including how things are displayed, is getting such a massive overhaul, there wasn't much choice but to draw the widgets manually. Qt really speeds things up by providing the primitives and painting engine, as well as some cool transparency effects (that I haven't actually taken advantage of yet but the potential is there nonetheless). In <2.0 I did alot of custom painting and workarounds (see customlvi.cpp for an example if you're curious) to fake the car-ish widgets, but I figured I'm porting alot of code at work to Qt4 so maybe it's time to do the same for Silverwolf and save ALL the mods (including FMOD, no pun intended
) for the big major number jump. I've seen that so many users have so many varied tastes, that QStyles just won't fit the bill anyway, not for something so specific as in-car use. It wouldn't be a bad approach for a desktop player though. Of course that's just one man's opinion...
You should see the skin.conf file for 2.0. It's freaking mental...
I hope once it's ready there are some "skinners" (is that a word or just a principal?) out there who can take advantage of it better than I. Alot of times I go gradient crazy and it just ends up looking gay
