How Do I Create My Own User Interface Style?

in Technical Help (nuts n bolts)

The title of this discussion thread says it all. Daz Studio ships with several user interface styles -- Dark Side, City Limits,, Hollywood Boulevard, etc. How do I create my own? I know it probably involves Qt Designer. But try as I might, I can find no facility within that program for editing the UI interface "style" files included in the "resources" folder inside the Daz Studio Pro application folder. Is there any program that can edit these? And where are the actual UI widget graphics stored? Or are those hard-coded into the program? I'm on both Mac and Windows, and so can take advice for ither. And on Windows, I have the Qt development environment installed. Any help is greately appreciated.

    You can move the individual panes (tabs) around and leave them floating or group them as you wish. Then you can save a new Workspace that you can load again later. You can also customize colors and save a new Style. Look on the Window menu in Daz Studio.

    Layout != Style

    As a user you can customize a certain degree of the Layout (the size/placement of macro-level widgets that represent larger concepts) and you can customize the colors provided by a particular Style, but there are intentional limits; you cannot control the size/placement/color/behavior of individual widgets at the micro-level.

    What I was talking about was changing the widgets themselves. As in redesigning the interface from the ground-up. As in, making the program more like Cararra, or Bryce. Or Poser. Redesigning the visual elements of the user interface itself.

    That isn't supported, I'm afraid. If you knew how to develop plug-ins you might be able to make some additional tools, but it would be no smal undertaking and I don't believe you could redo the existing elemnts.
