UPDATE: So i was messing around a bit more, and i think /u/selectedNode and /u/enumerationKnob were super onto something when they were talking about QApplication. So with the two issues i described, is there any way around them? If not ill just resort to the UI file idea and hope that does not give any issues. But i honestly dont want to have to keep going back to the UI file to make adjustments to the UI ui file from QDesigner then loading that ui file and using 'tParent(hou.qt.mainWindow(), QtCore.Qt.Window). The ONLY way I have so far found to creating a UI in Houdini that inherits its theme is by creating a. Ontop of that after these errors happens when i go resize the windows it just basically fails at drawing any of the elements and i get a bunch of errors complaining about QPaint This works for the most part but once i start clicking too many buttons it gives me these errors saying my widget objects do not have an 'event' attribute. what gives?īecause the stylesheet thing didnt work I figured i could just create a new qt window with this method and have my widgets be added into this window and have the Houdini colors be inherited by it. not only that it seems like the background color for QWidgets in Houdini 16 REFUSES to change. it seems to work fine in Houdini 17 once i actually add the background color in QWidgets in the returned string from hou.qt.stylesheets(), but for whatever reason this does NOT work for Houdini 16. I recently found out about hou.qt.stylesheets() so i was using that in attempt to change the UI theme to a 'Houdini' look. Im really stumped on how Qt works in Houdini so i want to post a bunch of questions i have regarding it:

Houdini python load qt.ui file
