Summary	0001342: Feature To Change Justify Setting In Main Window Style Sheets
Description	Currently the style sheets in the main window are justified to the upper left corner of the main window. Could a setting be included in Edit > Preferences > General > General tab that would allow the style sheet to be justified to any of the other 3 corners and center? Maybe even scaled? When using a tile, this is a non issue. When using an image, this is a different matter. I put this here just in case someone might wish to pick it up. If it's not possible to do, please close the request.

quick61 2014-01-03 19:24 reporter ~0004019	Sorry for not being clear enough wmayer. Image attached. In that screenshot, the style sheet (picture) in the main window is "pinned" to the upper left corner. For this particular image. Having it "pinned" to the center of the main window would be preferable. Other images would benefit from having their pin placement (justification) in the lower right, so that when the combo view is moved right, the image would not slide with the move, as it dose now, and would move if the Python console / Report view was moved upwards to expand their view, as it does not do now. As I have indicated, this is a trivial matter and one of ascetics. Not important at all. I just wanted to put this "out there" while it was fresh on my mind.

wmayer 2014-01-04 12:37 administrator ~0004022	I guess you are talking about the background image with the maple leaf. The image is too big and you want to have an option to change the justification. How is it possible to define such a background image in Qt? I have never seen this. You talked about "style sheets" which is something similar to a theme. Is there an option in KDE where you can choose a style sheet that has such a background image?

quick61 2014-01-04 17:26 reporter ~0004025	No, it's just what is defined in the style sheet, in ~/home/mark/.FreeCAD/Gui/Stylesheets/ QMdiArea[showImage="true"] { background-image: url(/home/mark/Pictures/Wallpaper/haiku2k721600.jpg) } I have several like this with different images defined. http://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=4700&p=37159&hilit=style+sheets#p37149 Is there a way to define the justification from the style sheet? I have searched and can not find any information on how to do this. Having tried things like "background-position: bottom right;" in the style sheet results in a blank main window. It seems that either there is different syntax for QMdiArea to align the image, or that capability is somewhere above QMdiArea. If this is something that can be handled through the style sheet, maybe we can close this ticket and move the topic over to the forum.

wmayer 2014-01-06 13:25 administrator ~0004028	Have you read this? http://harmattan-dev.nokia.com/docs/library/html/qt4/stylesheet-customizing.html Unfortunately, I cannot test this because my style sheet doesn't show the image at all. Have to check what's wrong here. Anyway, this is nothing we can handle in the FreeCAD sources. If Qt doesn't do it as you need it we cannot fix it.

wmayer 2014-01-06 14:20 administrator ~0004029	See also http://harmattan-dev.nokia.com/docs/library/html/qt4/stylesheet-reference.html#background-image-prop There it says if you have an SVG image it scales to the size of the widget. To align your example you can e.g. write: QMdiArea[showImage="true"] { background-image: url(/home/mark/Pictures/Wallpaper/haiku2k721600.jpg); background-position: bottom right; } To scale the image to the available size you can also do (but looks not that nice): QMdiArea[showImage="true"] { border-image: url(/home/mark/Pictures/Wallpaper/haiku2k721600.jpg); }

quick61 2014-01-06 16:01 reporter ~0004030	Thank you wmayer, I've got it working. It seems that I was missing the ";" at the end of the background-image: ~ line. Both background-position and border-image are working just as they should. Sorry for the trouble, I just could not find that information anywhere. That Nokia site never showed up anywhere in my searches. I guess we can consider this matter closed. Problem solved.
