I have a pyqt4 app which should run with arbitrary colorscheme. I would like to make some widgets more visible by making them lighter or darker than their style-predefined color. I would like it to work for any overall style and don’t want to hardcode colors in there. What would be the way to call QWidget.setStyleSheet which would make that happen?

    I’m not sure this is possible. There is no default stylesheet to query and parse, because its a user-specified value.

    Themes can be platform-dependent, so would have to do a bunch of processing on the widgets style -> palette -> attributes, figure out the color values, and generate a modified value to specify in your stylesheet. At that point, you are better off just sticking with the palettes and modifying their values, and not worrying about a stylesheet.
