The use is
cpulimit -l [℅ CPU] -e [binary name]
I found it useful to emulate slow embedded processor behavior on desktop.

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;}");

Anyhow, you have to compile your own version if you want to avoid the MSVC 2010 runtime dependency (because you’re using another MSVC version), or want to tailor the ICU configuration.     download.qt-project.org [ download.qt-project.org ] also hosts packages for MSVC 2012 .
