Doing Things The Right Way™

Submitted by sneakin on Sun, 2005/05/29 - 12:26. |

There was a small patch submitted to add a background image to Psi's roster. In an effort to do things The Right Way™ I've spent the past couple of days making QListView display a background image using properties similiar to CSS.

This is a glimpse of what I have slapped together at the moment:

Now I just need to kill the flicker with some optimizing and trickery, and clean up the code for this to be ready. I may also try to find a way to throw a background onto any widget.

That could be done by selecting a washed out image. I still need to figure out a way to prevent any flickering with static backgrounds. I also need to figure out how this can be done in Qt 4 as well. Once those are figured out then I'll see about manipulating the image.
