What you learn
This tutorial makes use of different features and techniques provided by Qt:
- Resource System The icons you see in the screenshot are loaded via the Qt Resource System
- QBrush For creating the gradient we make use of QLinearGradient that is assigned to a QBrush.
- QPalette Qt has no direct way for setting colors to particular widgets, except using stylesheets, but as far as I know there is no support for gradients yet. So we need to make use of color roles and a customized QPalette
- QListWidget We make use of the flow property to make the items flow horizontally.
