## What it is
A Python library providing Material Design-inspired stylesheets for Qt applications built with PySide2, PySide6, PyQt5, and PyQt6. It ships prebuilt dark and light themes, custom color support, runtime theme switching, and density scaling.

## Use cases
- apply material design theme to pyqt app
- style pyside6 desktop application with dark theme
- change qt theme at runtime
- create custom color theme for pyqt5 gui
- make qt widgets look modern
- list available qt material themes

## When to choose
- you want Material Design styling for a Qt/PySide/PyQt desktop app with minimal code
- you need prebuilt dark and light themes plus runtime theme switching
- you want to generate themes from Material's Color Tool XML exports

## When to avoid
- your app uses a GUI toolkit other than Qt (Tkinter, GTK, Electron)
- you need pixel-perfect Material Design compliance rather than a close approximation
- you require native platform look-and-feel

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: ui-components, theme, css-framework
- domain: desktop-applications, web-design, cross-platform
- platform: python, cross-platform
- tags: qt, pyside6, pyqt5, pyqt6, pyside2, material-design, stylesheet, theming, gui, desktop
