Project Description

Currently 3D Slicer support both QStyle based styling and QtStylesheets. To improve custom apps and user experience, we woud like to move all styling to QSS.

Objective

2. Support the existing Slicer Dark / Light themes through QSS

Approach and Plan

1. Create QSS files for the existing Slicer Dark / Light themes
2. Integrate qt-material package to support Material styles through python
3. Create a SlicerThemes (?) extension which pulls in qt-material and add glue code
