Using Maya's color scheme on stand alone PyQt apps?

[Panupat Chongstitwattana]

Is there a way to do this? I'm thinking about the nice dark color scheme of Maya 2011+.

I think that color is all 42s for RGB (assuming you meant the window colour)....

Not in front of a machine so I can't try myself, but the style() method of Maya's Qapplication may give you what you need.  You can then set the style of the standalone qapplication with setStyle

You get the current qapplication instance with the instance() class method of QtGui.QApplication

Yes. I used setStyleSheet('background-color: rgb(42,42,42);color: rgb(255,255,255)')

Thanks everyone. I was hoping Maya would store the stylesheet
somewhere I could reuse. But I guess setting the colors myself would
do :)

So far from Photoshop color picking

* {
background-color: rgb(64,64,64)
color: rgb(200,200,200)
}

:disabled {
color: rgb(96,96,96)
}

most text fields do have background of 48,48,48

best regard,
Panupat C.

If you wanted to get a perfect match, you could build some functions like this:

from PyQt4 import QtGui
groups = ['Disabled', 'Active', 'Inactive', 'Normal']
roles = ['Window',
        'Background',
        'WindowText',
        'Foreground',
        'Base',
        'AlternateBase',
        'ToolTipBase',
        'ToolTipText',
        'Text',
        'Button',
        'ButtonText',
         'BrightText']


def getPaletteInfo():
    palette = QtGui.QApplication.palette()
    #build a dict with all the colors
    result = {}   
    for role in roles:
        for group in groups:
            qGrp = getattr(QtGui.QPalette, group)
            qRl = getattr(QtGui.QPalette, role)
            result['%s:%s' % (role, group)] =  palette.color(qGrp, qRl).rgba()
    return result
       
def setPaletteFromDct(dct):
    palette = QtGui.QPalette()
    for role in roles:
        for group in groups:
            color = QtGui.QColor(dct['%s:%s' % (role, group)])
            qGrp = getattr(QtGui.QPalette, group)
            qRl = getattr(QtGui.QPalette, role)
            palette.setColor(qGrp, qRl, color)
    QtGui.QApplication.setPalette(palette)


You could pickle out the dct you get in maya and use the other function to set it in the standalone app

You should use style/styleSheet to your app,
