Case of issues with Google Play Services on Sailfish

-
So few days back I started using my Intex Aquafish as my daily driver. The phone is great at a basic phone. Calling and internet works fine. Whatsapp also works fine and so does Google Drive. That's almost all the use cases for me.
But something threw a spanner in the works. I tried installing few more apps, and they get stuck at Installing screen. Then couple of days back I started seeing large battery drains by gms.persisttent.
After a lot of googling and searching I did not find much. But then today I hit the lottery. Found out that I someday mistakenly upgraded Google Play Services and that caused all this. Anyway, how to revert back. Big question. After fiddling out here and there, I found out that I have to search for Google Play Services in Store app, and from there I could downgrade Play Services.
Once that done and after testing half a dozen installs and checking battery draws in Battery Log app, I confirmed that this indeed fixes the works! Cheers!!!

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;}");
