So, for example Designer (standalone or in Carbide) will +be able to display a realistic S60 Ui. + +The intermediate binary format consists of hashes of QPictures and +QColors, streamed to a QByteArray and compressed. QS60Style could not load +the Carbide.ui theme directly because SVG handling is unfortunately +not part of QtGui, and would require a dependency on the QtSvg module. + +Also, 's60theme' uses QWebkit to parse the SVG graphics (inspired by +Ariya's 'WebKit-based SVG rasterizer' labs post). QtSvg had some issues +with the SVGs that come with Carbide.ui. + +Usage examples: +> s60theme "com.nokia.tools.theme.s60.50_3.4.0.0\config\model" Default.blob + (Reads the default 's60.50' theme and saves it as 'Default.blob') + +> s60theme "Eclipse\Examples\Haze\Haze.tdf" Haze.blob + (Reads the Haze theme and saves it as 'Haze.blob') + +To use the blob in a Qt application, get an instance of a QS60Style and call + style->loadS60ThemeFromBlob("Theme.blob"); + +The simulated QS60Style will, in its constructor by default, try to load a +":/s60Stylethemes/Default.blob". If your application has that a resource with +exactly that filename, it will be used by default. +'Default.blob' is not included in the current Qt source package. But it can +easily be created with 's60theme' and a fresh install of Carbide.ui + +Visit http://www.forum.nokia.com for details about Carbide.ui |
