import another css file in QT stylesheet

Question

I have QT version 4.5.3. Does it support @import()? I'm trying to import another css file into my css file I have cssA.css and cssB.css in the same folder. I import cssA.css in cssB.css by using @import(:/cssA.css); but it doesn't seem to work. Can anybody tell me what's wrong?

I didn't find a good answer myself, so I manually concatenate multiple stylesheets to emulate 'importing'. For example, in C++:

QApplication a(argc, argv);
// Load stylesheets
QString finalCss;
QFile baseCssFile(":/Common/Theme.css");
if (baseCssFile.open(QIODevice::ReadOnly | QIODevice::Text))
{
    finalCss.append(baseCssFile.readAll().data());
}
QFile cssFile(":/CustomApp/CustomApp.css");
if (cssFile.open(QIODevice::ReadOnly | QIODevice::Text))
{
    finalCss.append(cssFile.readAll().data());
}
a.setStyleSheet(finalCss);

This is the only sane approach. Since Qt currently provides no support for importing one stylesheet into another, the onus is squarely on developers to manually do so. </forlorn_sigh>

Can you please try @import 'color_controls.css';

QSS ≠ CSS. Sadly, Qt provides no support for importing one stylesheet into another. See this open Qt feature request for further discussion.

I would advise taking a look at this website: Stylesheets

Syntax: @import ""; or @import url("");

For example:

@import "commonstylesheet.css";
