Qstylesheet properties

[isisbinder]

I'm learning Qt and my last move was to put all the (supported) styling stuff in qss files. I have this class (python):

class MainWindow(QtGui.QMainWindow):
 
    def __init__(self, desktop):
        super(MainWindow, self).__init__()

class MainWindow(QtGui.QMainWindow):

    def __init__(self, desktop):
        super(MainWindow, self).__init__()

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Searching on the qstylesheet syntax page I found that it's possible to set some properties using qss files. Then, i did this:

QMainWindow {
    qproperty-maximized: true;
}

QMainWindow {
    qproperty-maximized: true;
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

But I get the following message: cannot design property named "maximized"

I guess this occurs because the docs state that it's a const value, but then... Are there any means of setting the main window as maximized using qss files? Do I have to modify the element selector to deal with property inheritance from QWidget?

Where is your supposed QSS property name documented? Your question is currently the only hit on Google for that property name.

AFIAK there's no way for a style sheet to control the window manager's placement of the top level widget. Use QWidget::showMaximized() to suggest that to the window manager.

In theory one could add such a property, program it and then style it using the syntax for setting Qt property values. "maximized" is a read-only property and that's why the syntax does not work here.
