Simple scripts can re-style the tree and body editor, over-riding the
current theme's settings. These changes only last until the outline is
loaded again, but they can be very helpful when your want to tweak a theme.
Say you want to try a different font size for the tree. Normally you would
need to load up the theme's outline, edit it, and restart Leo. That's
awkward, slow, and you can't really compare before and after.
These scripts let you change any of Qt's CSS properties, not just font
size. Want to see what the tree would look like using Times New Roman? No
Problem. Italics? Sure. First, the tree:
gui = g.app.gui
tw = gui.find_widget_by_name(c, 'treeWidget')
# Change font of both label and headline editor
style = '* {font-size: 9.5pt;}'
tw.setStyleSheet(style)
Note that you can use half-point sizes, as shown here. The particular
properties specified here will change, leaving the others set by the theme
untouched. You can change the property value and run the script again right
away.
Here's the equivalent for the body editor:
gui = g.app.gui
body_editor = gui.find_widget_by_name(c,'richTextEdit')
style = '* {font-size: 9.5pt;}'
body_editor.setStyleSheet(style)
For the font family, the CSS style is
style = '* {font-family: 'Times New Roman";}'
If you know your CSS, you can change any CSS properties supported by Qt. We
use the universal selector ("*") so we don't need to figure out the exact
object name to use, which can sometimes be a problem. These styles will
only affect the object you are styling and its children. It won't affect
any other objects.
