I can't find anything on this topic, is it possible to use CSS files in Qt or do I have to use setStyleSheet on every element I want to style?
I can't say its very maintainable if I have to write all the styles in quotes.

A:
You can use -stylesheet to specify a stylesheet on the command line. In addition, you could load your .qss file from a file or a resource and then call setStylesheet on your QApplication instance.

Thanks, but I can't seem to get the external file loaded in QApplication. I tried a.setStyleSheet(":<prefix>/<alias>");

Once you've added the file as a resource you need to open the resource and read it into a string. You can start the process with: `QFile stylesheet(":<prefix>/<alias")` and then reading in the text. Perhaps: `stylesheet.open(QIODevice::ReadOnly); QTextStream ts( a.setStyleSheet(ts.readAll());`
