[SOLVED] QPalette::Link for Constraint Formulas in Property Editor (NOTE: restart required)

[Kunda1]

It seems that it needs a Freecad restart to make this stick.

Ooof that's frustrating. Nice catch! Can you provide a screenshot of the result?
We need to add this to the preference pack documentation.

Thanks @MisterMaker! What's your ETA on pushing the changes to https://github.com/MisterMakerNL/Extrem ... mmits/main

Can you do me a favor and when you do, please add a comment above the .qss code linking to this thread and explaining that a restart is needed for this to take place. That way I can send other stylesheet devs directly to your code. Let me know?

Edit: I notated the source and pinged wmayer https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/comm ... #r85614248

While we are at it, I got this from Axeia on discord:
see https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=34&t=72294

Code: Select all

QTableView::item{
    color: gray;
}

This sets the text color in spreadsheets to white.
Super simple but it is missing in every dark theme that needs it.
@kunda1 ETA1 is couple hours ago, with a lot of other fixes.

Hey, I needed this.
But this does not work properly not in 0.20.1 and in 0.21.
When I change stylesheet it set the color correctly, but as soon as I exit the settings it pops back too blue.
See: https://files.gitter.im/587a69a0d73408c ... 4IfIdI.gif

Wanted to make a issue about this but after starting Freecad up and checking it, it worked.

Btw not a single other Dark theme has this:

Code: Select all

QLabel[haslink="true"] {
  color: orange;
}

Nice catch!!

[wmayer]

Currently only ProDark.qss uses the haslink property of a QLabel:
QLabel[haslink="true"] {
color: #55aaff;
}
Because this is still blue color it can be hardly distinguished from the default link color.

So, I change it to

Code: Select all

QLabel[haslink="true"] {
  color: orange;
}

and rebuild FreeCAD.

Now I create a standard box in the Part wb and set an expression to a property. Because no style sheet is set the item is shown in blue color. After activating the ProDark style sheet and quitting the preferences the item is shown in orange. I don't have to restart FreeCAD therefore!

Hi @wmayer, do you mind clarifying what you mean by 'rebuild' here? Thanks!

It means to copy the file from the source to the build directory.

It means to copy the file from the source to the build directory.

Pardon my ignorance here, are you saying that the dev needs to run make to rebuild FreeCAD ?

[adrianinsaval]

werner was probably editing the stylesheet in FreeCAD's source code repo so he does need to rebuild or manually copy the edited stylesheet to get it in his build. For external stylesheets rebuilding FreeCAD is not required at all.
