Colors and Font Guidelines

Bellow you can find our recommended color palette, textured backgrounds and the fonts that will ensure consistency between your app's GUI and the other many example apps' GUIs published in the Qt website. There are also examples of how to use each of them.

Recommended Color Palette

We recommend:

• Use primarily the grays
• Use the other colors only to accent a particular feature/item in your demo/app
• Avoid using gradients, especially multi color gradients, use solid colors instead
• Avoid detailed and colored textured backgrounds or use one of our 3 suggestions
• Avoid aliased/jaggy graphics

Recommended fonts and font sizes

In addition to the above recommendations, we also suggest a few simple guidelines regarding text and headers:

• Use a sans-serif system font at 24 pt, Bold, for headers
• Use a sans-serif system font at 14 pt, Regular, for body text
• Use at least 8 pixel margin around text elements
