Meet The GIMP

Holy S***!

That's what I uttered when I stumbled on the following link:

GIMP Video Tutorials! About 130 of them! I am downloading one right now! Got GIMP on my RIG, so hope to do some good!

P.S. I actually have used GIMP regularly for scaling/ cropping images and applying various filters (and creating hideous versions! ). I also have used GIMP to put text atop images and create cool banners etc.

QCalendarWidget CSS Stylesheeting

-
Recently I had to implement a calendar for a TouchScreen application. I resorted to css to modify the calendar widget's appearance so that it would be more accessible. Following is the code that enabled me to get a proper calendar. calendar->setStyleSheet("QMenu { font-size:20px; width: 300px; left: 20px; }"     "QToolButton {icon-size: 48px, 48px; font: 20px; height: 70px; width: 100px; }"     "QAbstractItemView {selection-background-color: rgb(255, 174, 0);}"     "QToolButton::menu-indicator{ width: 50px;}"     "QToolButton::menu-indicator:pressed,"     "QToolButton::menu-indicator:open{ top:10px; left: 10px;}"     "QTableView { font: 30px; }"     "QSpinBox { width: 100px; font: 20px;}"     "QSpinBox::up-button { width:40px;}"     "QSpinBox::down-button { width:40px;}");

Qt global thread pool max thread count

-
Recently I encountered that some threads are not launching in our application using QConcurrentRun. If you launched the same worker function over QThread it was working.   So digging into this gave us this problem with defaults for Qt's global threadpool. Basically Qt sets global threadpool's max thread count to the no of cores you have on your processor. We were easily running out of the default four max threads. So we upped the count to 32 using following function:  QThreadPool::globalInstance()->setMaxThreadCount(32); We set this at start of the program in main. Things have been fine since then!
