legacy-qBittorrent

This is a very minimal qbtheme for qBittorrent that brings back the compact layout for the transfer list from pre-4.2.2.

Downloading

Get the .qbtheme file from this repo by cloning it or from the Releases page.

Compiling (Windows only)

With a python3 executable called python, run compile.bat.

Making Your Own Styles

Due to the minimal nature of this repository, it also serves as a useful starting point for new theme developers. Here's what you need to know about qBittorrent theming:

• .qbtheme files are binary resource packages for Qt, and they are compiled using the Resource Compiler (rcc) tool.
• make-resource.py (by @jagannatharjun) is a wrapper for rcc specifically designed for qBittorrent, which makes compilation as easy as calling the python file with input and output file arguments.

To get started with making your own style:

1. git clone this repository to your file system.
2. Edit style.qss to your liking. Although I haven't tried, you can certainly include custom icon assets to your compilation. Take a look at other developers for examples.
3. Compile using compile.bat.
