But when your qss file will be done, then save it in the resources. There are many examples how to do this in the web (for example this [this video] . In this case you will need your current path ":/myStyle.qss" Why do you need resource? Resources are build into exe file so you never lost this files, user can't delete it or rewrite. If user delete your qss file, all your style will fail, so you should protect it.
