With Qt you can use the Qt Style Sheets to specify global and item specific styles. These can be stored in a file (which may be also embedded into the Qt app) and loaded upon program start. The advantage is that all style information is located in a single place and you don't have to use the Qt Designer for each widget.

I did not found examples for flat applications with Qt style sheets. But it is always up to you to design your application and even with examples you have to know the basics to modify the examples and add your own parts.

Thank you very much for your answer. It seems exactly what I need. My thanks also to developers of Qt for their well designed framework. I had never thought it would be so easy.
It is nowhere written where and how to write and read custom style sheets - so I write them to extra .qss file and read it whilst starting program. It is Ok ? Or is there something better?

It is Ok to read the file in your app instance and call SetStyleSheet. But Qt has also some build-in command line options and one of them is '-stylesheet[= ]<path_to_file>'.

Thanks:)
I knew about command line option - but it's not interesting for me (at least now)
