GUI style customization
Starting from version 4.5.0, QLC+ can read a user custom file to change the GUI appearance in a
very accessible way.
If no file is found, QLC+ will start with the default style.
The GUI style file
The file name is hardcoded into QLC+ and must be: qlcplusStyle.qss
The style file must also be placed in a specific path which is:
Linux: $HOME/.qlcplus
Windows: Your user folder/QLC+
OSX: Library/Application Support/QLC+
The style file must have a CSS syntax. If you're comfortable with web designing, you should find
the creation of this file very easy !
Since the style file is strictly related to the inner Qt objects, you might want to read the following
articles to find out the elements names and the additional CSS properties the Qt team added to
the default CSS syntax.

If you copy the following lines into qlcplusStyle.qss in the right location as explained above, you
will see it immediately applied to QLC+.
