Thanks for the ideas.
I was asked to add some kind of color indication to help reduce mistakes
made when artists have multiple mayas open in Windows (So much easier in
Linux with multiple desktops!), but haven't had the chance to train up on
using PySide yet. Anyways I think changing the top menuBar color is the
solution I'll test out now. At first polling with my co-workers they like
this best, thought it worked well and didn't distract.
from PySide import QtGui
QtGui.qApp.setStyleSheet("""
QMenuBar {
background: rgb( 200, 40, 0 );
color: rgb( 255, 255, 255 );
}
""")
The Color setting is to make the text white or change depending on what
color the menubar is set to so it can still be readable
Cheers
