## Widget Targets

### Global

```css
QWidget {
    background-color: #282828;
    color: #ebdbb2;
    font-size: 13px;
    font-family: monospace;
    selection-background-color: #fe8019;  /* grid selection border + hover highlight */
    selection-color: #282828;
}
```

### Buttons

```css
QPushButton {
    background-color: #333;
    color: #fff;
    border: 1px solid #555;
    border-radius: 4px;
    padding: 5px 14px;
}
QPushButton:hover { background-color: #444; }
QPushButton:pressed { background-color: #555; }
QPushButton:checked { background-color: #0078d7; }  /* Active tab (Browse/Bookmarks/Library), Autoplay, Loop toggles */
```

**Note:** Qt's QSS does not support the CSS `content` property, so you cannot replace button text (e.g. "Play" → "") via stylesheet alone. However, you can use a Nerd Font to change how unicode characters render:

```css
QPushButton {
    font-family: "JetBrainsMono Nerd Font", monospace;
}
```

To use icon buttons, you would need to modify the Python source code directly — the button labels are set in `preview.py` via `QPushButton("Play")` etc.

### Text Inputs

```css
QLineEdit, QTextEdit {
    background-color: #1a1a1a;
    color: #fff;
    border: 1px solid #555;
    border-radius: 4px;
    padding: 4px 8px;
}
QLineEdit:focus, QTextEdit:focus {
    border-color: #0078d7;
}
```

### Dropdowns

```css
QComboBox {
    background-color: #333;
    color: #fff;
    border: 1px solid #555;
    border-radius: 4px;
    padding: 3px 6px;
}
QComboBox::drop-down {
    border: none;
    width: 20px;
}
QComboBox QAbstractItemView {
    background-color: #333;
    color: #fff;
    border: 1px solid #555;
    selection-background-color: #444;
}
```

```

ThumbnailWidget {
    qproperty-savedColor: #22cc22;       /* green dot: saved to library */
    qproperty-bookmarkedColor: #ffcc00;  /* yellow star: bookmarked */
}
```

## States

| State | Description |
|-------|-------------|
| `:hover` | Mouse over |
| `:pressed` | Mouse down |
| `:focus` | Keyboard focus |
| `:checked` | Toggle buttons (Browse/Favorites) |
| `:selected` | Selected menu item or tab |
| `:disabled` | Grayed out |

## Notes

- `selection-background-color` on `QWidget` controls the **grid thumbnail selection border** and **hover highlight** (lighter version auto-derived)
- Setting a custom QSS automatically switches to the Fusion Qt style for consistent rendering
- Tag category colors (Artist, Character, etc.) in the info panel are set in code, not via QSS
- Saved dot (green) and bookmark star (yellow) are QSS-controllable via `qproperty-savedColor` and `qproperty-bookmarkedColor` on `ThumbnailWidget`
- Use `QLabel { background: transparent; }` to prevent labels from getting opaque backgrounds
- Right-click on thumbnails selects visually but does not change the preview
