Detailed Description

The PySide.QtGui.QStyleFactory class creates PySide.QtGui.QStyle objects.

The PySide.QtGui.QStyle class is an abstract base class that encapsulates the look and feel of a GUI. PySide.QtGui.QStyleFactory creates a PySide.QtGui.QStyle object using the PySide.QtGui.QStyleFactory.create() function and a key identifying the style. The styles are either built-in or dynamically loaded from a style plugin (see QStylePlugin ).

The valid keys can be retrieved using the PySide.QtGui.QStyleFactory.keys() function. Typically they include “windows”, “motif”, “cde”, “plastique” and “cleanlooks”. Depending on the platform, “windowsxp”, “windowsvista” and “macintosh” may be available. Note that keys are case insensitive.
