Detailed Description

Class to handle styling and painting of QPushButton controls.

Special class to handle styling and painting of PushButtons.

We have to use default QPushButton's throughout the engine, because QMessageBox's and other built-in Qt things don't provide an easy hook to override the type used. So, this class, full of static member functions, provides a place to collect all of the logic related to painting/styling QPushButton's

The built-in Qt version of QPushButton painting is not very good. The edges of the frame aren't anti-aliased and don't look quite right.

Unfortunately, Qt (as of 5.6) doesn't provide any hooks to query stylesheet values once loaded. To avoid writing and maintaining our own css parsing and rule engine, we just override the painting directly, and allow settings to be customized via an ini file.

Some of the styling of QPushButton and QToolButton is done via CSS, in PushButton.qss Everything else that can be configured is in PushButtonConfig.ini

There are currently three built-in styles: Our default QPushButton style Our Primary QPushButton style, specified via pushButton->setDefault(true); Small Icon QToolButton style, specified via PushButton::applySmallIconStyle(toolButton);
