Selecting styles with Python backend?

[0x14307]

Hi there! I love Slint and have been using it to prototype an app with Python as a backend. I have noticed that the docs do not have anything in regards to selecting a widget style at all and I am wondering if there is a way to do so or if it has not been implemented yet.

Setting SLINT_STYLE=native in the environment before starting Slint should work.

For testing you should be able to set it on the command line when calling your python script, for production you should be able to set this early in the script before setting up the slint UI. You can either set something if no SLINT_STYLE is set from the outside or overriding the value unconditionally if that is what you need to do.

So for this instance it would be uv run main.py SLINT_STYLE=native right?

No, that would make it a command line argument to your program. SLINT_STYLE is an environment variable.

You can set it programmatically like this:

os.environ["SLINT_STYLE"] = "fluent"
