Implement your own style and override standardPixmap() (http://doc.trolltech.com/4.1/qstyle.html#standardPixmap).

hi jpn,

i think i phrased my reply wrongly..i wanted to ask how should i include my images or where should i provide them...like..in StandardPixmap function...the StandardPixmap could be either minimise,maximise or close button...that i understand..but which styleoption should i use....if StyleOptionTitleBar then it doesnt have any function using which i can provide the relevant image....please help me out on that..i m really confused on how to implement it

Thanx for ur time

I believe I will have to eat my words.. Seems you can't customize the title bar with styles, since the title bar is out of Qt's scope. You may give hints (http://doc.trolltech.com/4.1/qwidget.html#windowFlags-prop) which buttons you want to appear, but for the way you want it to be customized, you may need to hide the original title bar (Qt::FramelessWindowHint) and draw your own customized title bar by yourself. There is a whole lot of code needed to handle movement and resizing, though..

hi jpn,

thanx for replying...i was though wondering if the following would work

QPixmap standardPixmap ( StandardPixmap standardPixmap, const QStyleOption * option = 0, const QWidget * widget = 0 ) const
{
QPixmap maximiseImage(":/images/woodbackground.png");
QPixmap minimiseImage(":/images/woodbutton.png");
QPixmap closeImage(":/images/woodbackground.png");
QPixmap contextHelpImage(":/images/woodbutton.png");

switch(standardpixmap){
case SP_TitleBarMinButton:
return minimiseImage;
case SP_TitleBarMaxButton:
return maximiseImage;
case SP_TitleBarCloseButton:
return closeImage;
case SP_TitleBarContextHelpButton:
return contextHelpImage;
}
}

if standardpixmap() works .... this should solve my problem....please give me ur suggestions.

Thanx for ur time.

Cheers,
