Stylesheet Example

Stylesheet demonstrates how to use a stylesheet to customize a wizard UI.

Configuring the Example Installer

The installer configuration file, config.xml, in the config directory specifies the text and default values used in the installer:

• The <Name> element sets the application name and adds it to the page name and introduction text.
• The <Version> element sets the application version number.
• The <Title> element sets the installer name and displays it on the title bar.
• The <Publisher> element sets the publisher of the software (as shown in the Windows Control Panel, for example).
• The <StartMenuDir> element sets the name of the default program group for the product in the Windows Start menu.
• The <TargetDir> element sets the default target directory location to be within the IfwExamples directory in the home directory of the current user (because it uses the pre-existing variable , @HomeDir@, as part of the value). For more information, see Predefined Variables.

• The <WizardStyle> element sets the wizard style to be used.
• The <StyleSheet> element sets the stylesheet file.
• The <TitleColor> element sets the color of the titles and subtitles.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Installer>
    <Name>Stylesheet Example</Name>
    <Version>1.0.0</Version>
    <Title>Stylesheet Example</Title>
    <Publisher>Qt-Project</Publisher>
    <StartMenuDir>Qt IFW Examples</StartMenuDir>
    <TargetDir>@HomeDir@/IfwExamples/stylesheet</TargetDir>
    <WizardStyle>Classic</WizardStyle>
    <StyleSheet>style.qss</StyleSheet>
    <TitleColor>#FFFFFF</TitleColor>
</Installer>

Generating the Example Installer

To create the example installer, switch to the example source directory on the command line and enter the following command:

• On Windows:

  ..\..\bin\binarycreator.exe -c config\config.xml -p packages installer.exe

• On Linux or macOS:

  ../../bin/binarycreator -c config/config.xml -p packages installer

This creates the installer to the current directory.

Files:

• stylesheet/config/config.xml
• stylesheet/packages/org.qtproject.ifw.example.stylesheet/meta/installscript.qs
