Me too!

I'm working on adding the above into the new UI right now.

I spent sometime yesterday scrolling through the fonts on my PC to find something that works well with the banner-type menus. I finally found one that looked perfect, and was not surprised to see the font was named 'FBB'.... d'oh.

One thing I've really come to love about Qt is its use of StyleSheets. As with css in html, these really save a lot of time during the creation of UI elements, as well as making things like updates and customization a real breeze.

Every element on the screen is configured, from shape to colour to font, via the use of these StyleSheets within Python, rather than Qt Designer, which are then stored in their own 'css'-type file within the project.

The idea would be that, one day, some of the folks out there who are far more creative than me would have no trouble redesigning the UI if they wished.
