Detailed Description

A QLThemeableBox is a QLThemeable that defines attributes and painting functionality for a box-shaped widget.

Painting the Box

Classes that inherit QLThemeableBox (which should also inherit QWidget or other QWidget types) should override their paintEvent() functions to call paint(), passing along a pointer to themselves. The following is a example from QLWidget:

void QLWidget::paintEvent(QPaintEvent* event)
{
    paint(this);
}

This will draw the box across the width and height of the widget.

Box Attributes

Themeable-boxes come with a set of LAttribute objects that are used to give them certain appearances.

Border

A border is drawn on the box if the border thickness attribute is greater than 0. The border fill attribute determines what color or gradient should be used to fill the border with. These are considered grouped attributes.

The border attributes are obtained through border_thickness() and border_fill().

The corners of the border are affected by the box's corner radii attributes.

Corner Radii

There is an attribute for every corner of the box. These are considered grouped attributes.

The corner radii attributes are obtained through corner_radii_top_left(), corner_radii_top_right(), corner_radii_bottom_left(), and corner_radii_bottom_right().

Fill

There is a fill attribute that determines what color or gradient should be used to fill the inside of the box with.

Margin

There are four margin attributes, one for each side of the box. They can be changed to shorten the draw dimensions. These are considered grouped attributes.

The margins attributes are obtained through margins_left(), margins_top(), margins_right(), and margins_bottom().
