## What it is
A dark and light stylesheet/theme library for Qt applications, supporting PyQt and PySide bindings (Qt5/Qt6) in Python as well as C++. It provides a complete, consistent theme framework with a programmable SCSS palette.

## Use cases
- apply a dark theme to a PyQt5 application
- style PySide2 widgets with a dark stylesheet
- add light/dark theme switching to a Qt desktop app
- make a PyQtGraph application dark-themed
- use a dark Qt stylesheet in a C++ Qt application
- customize a Qt color palette programmatically

## When to choose
- you build desktop apps with PyQt5/PyQt6, PySide2/PySide6, or QtPy and want a polished dark or light theme
- you need consistent widget styling across many Qt widgets without hand-writing QSS
- you want a theme usable from both Python and C++ Qt projects

## When to avoid
- you target Qt4 or Python 2, which are no longer supported
- you need a fully custom design rather than a predefined dark/light palette
- you are styling non-Qt frontends like web or GTK applications

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: theme, ui-components
- domain: desktop-applications, cross-platform, developer-tools
- platform: python, cpp, cross-platform
- tags: qt, pyqt, pyside, dark-theme, stylesheet, qss, light-theme, desktop
