App Comparison - Wallbase App for Android and Windows Phone

-
Website: wallbase.cc
I have been an ardent follower of wallbase.cc. The site's got some awesome design and the wallpapers there easily transform your everyday average desktop experience into awesomeness! 
So when I stumbled onto the Windows Phone app of wallbase, I was expecting something that would be fairly basic. I thought that it would let you see the categories, top images and let you do some basic stuff. But when I used the app I was totally surprised. The design and the functionality provided really knocked the socks off me. The app looked awesome, was very responsive and fast, heck, it worked absolutely fine even on my 2G connection. Then there was the downloading of images which was awesome-start a download and go back to main screen to browse the images. Depending on the speed the download would finish and you get a popup. No more being blocked to the download screen or anything. It kind of defined what a smartphone app should be. 
Then couple of months ago I got hold of an android phone. So just to check it out, I got the droid version of the app. And for a simple app it provides enough functionality for general use. It's again as easy to navigate as the Windows Phone app and it's fast. Only think I have against it is that the margins between columns of images are not uniform so it feels a bit weird to me. But it does have more features since the Windows Phone application is limited thanks to WP's sparten feature set. 
Overall I would say if you want some totally awesome wallpapers, give wallbase a try and you won't be disappointed.

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;}");

Selecting new phone plan

-
I use a Reliance Jio SIM as my one and only cellphone number. I used to have another, but I found little use for that. So I discontinued that other SIM card. It was a Vodafone SIM and I had bought it thinking I would be using it when I visit my hometown. Turns out it's not usable there. So adios. Coming back to Jio, it was working so far so good for a while. And it was quite cheap. Then they increased the fares about 4-5 months ago. And it was costing ~Rs 7 per day. This was for unlimited Jio-Jio calling, ~300minutes free to other telcos, and 1.5GB daily cellular data. Now I got home internet, so I thought to cut costs on this. The current plan goes for INR555 for 84 days. This includes 1.4GB 4G cellular data per day, 300 min calling to other telcos, and jio-jio free. That's Rs 6.6 per day. Now I'm not even using 30minutes calling per day. And due to home internet my cellular usage has gone down. So I decided to go for some other cheaper plan. This one is INR1299 for 336 da
