Redesign dual filter (and enable theme based styling of effect control dialogs) #3093
Conversation
To enable them to use the App/parent's theme
Use layouts instead of move() commands and CSS styling sizing where possible to be useable on all OSes and resolutions/DPIs. The custom paintEvent is needed to make the theme work, see http://doc.qt.io/qt-4.8/stylesheet-reference.html#qwidget-widget

Aesthetically, I think this looks good 👍 @Mentioning some people that might have some more feedback for you... |

Seems like either I messed someting up or it was already broken with regards to the |

I don't think that is the right approach here. In the effect plugins we don't use the css. You should reverse all that and only redesign the plugin by code. If you want to do it with QLayout feel free. But I made the experience that QLayout the code blow up with no benefits. Because effect plugins can't be resized by the user. Move() is just okay for this. |

@simonvanderveldt the build is failing on this, plus such a change to CSS based styling is not something I think we should do for 1.2. Can you please split this into 2 different PR's? Do a plugin redesign in inkscape like we've been doing so far to be consistent, and then have a seperate PR that does this for all plugins and then we can have this discussion there. |
@Umcaruje thanks for the feedback. I don't have experience with Inkscape + I've just moved to a new house and have a lot of work to do there, so I guess someone else should pick this one up. |
Fixes part of #2831
This uses proper layouts and CSS styling from the theme to layout and style the Dual Filter control dialog instead of hardcoded pixel values and pixmaps.
I had to change a relatively large amount of files to enable the styling using the theme/CSS for the plugin/effect control dialogs. I believe passing the parent is the correct way to do it, but please let me know if that's not the case.
P.S. The whitespace seems to a bit messed up, just noticed there's a coding conventions page, I'll fix those up after/when I get some feedback.
