@section{description}
QPalette is a strong::set of colors:: that the GUI system uses to draw the views. The colors are organized into three strong::color groups:: (active, inactive and disabled) used according to the state of the views drawn, and each group containing one color assigned to each of the various strong::color roles:: (window, windowText, button, buttonText, etc.), used to draw distinct elements of the views. See link::Reference/palette_color_roles:: and link::Reference/palette_color_groups:: for details.
A palette can be assigned to the whole GUI using link::Classes/QtGUI#*palette::, or to a particular view using link::Classes/View#-palette::. Views will inherit a palette from their parent, and ultimately QtGUI, unless a palette is explicitly assigned to them. Moreover, when setting a palette on a view, it will be combined with the inherited one, overriding only those colors that have been explicitly set on the palette (see link::#-hasColor::). Hence, assigning a new and unmodified palette will reset all the colors to the inherited ones.
There are also two predefined palettes accessible using link::#*light:: and link::#*dark::. The light palette is assigned to QtGUI by default on startup. Should you wish to use a palette that matches the color scheme used natively on your platform, you can access such palette using link::#*system::.
If you wish to design your own palette, it is most convenient to use link::#*auto::, which will automatically derive a palette from only two colors, and then modify the details as you see fit.
Note that in Qt GUI most color-related methods of views (like link::Classes/Window#-background::, link::Classes/Slider#-knobColor::, etc.) actually modify the view's palette.
@section{CLASSMETHODS}
@section{METHOD}
new
Instantiates a new palette, equivalent to the global palette assigned to QtGUI. All colors are considered to not be set (see link::#-hasColor::).
@section{METHOD}
auto
Instantiates a new palette, with colors automatically derived from the given colors for 'button' and 'window' color roles. All colors are considered to be set (see link::#-hasColor::).
@section{argument}
buttonColor
The Color assigned to the button role.
@section{argument}
windowColor
The Color assigned to the window role.
@section{METHOD}
light
A predefined palette using light colors. All colors are considered to be set (see link::#-hasColor::).
@section{METHOD}
dark
A predefined palette using dark colors. All colors are considered to be set (see link::#-hasColor::).
@section{METHOD}
system
The native system palette. All colors are considered to be set (see link::#-hasColor::).

@section{METHOD}
color
Returns the color assigned to a color role within a color group.
@section{argument}
role
A symbol among link::Reference/palette_color_roles::.
@section{argument}
group
A symbol among link::Reference/palette_color_groups::, or nil, in which case the current color group is used.
@section{METHOD}
setColor
Assigns a color to a color role within a color group.
@section{argument}
color
A Color.
@section{argument}
role
A symbol among link::Reference/palette_color_roles::.
@section{argument}
group
A symbol among link::Reference/palette_color_groups::, or nil, in which case the color will be assigned to all groups.
@section{METHOD}
hasColor
Whether the color belonging to a color role and group has been set on this QPalette instance.
When setting a palette on a view, only colors for which this methods returns true will be changed, others will be inherited from the parent view (or QtGUI if this view has no parent).
@section{argument}
role
A symbol among link::Reference/palette_color_roles::.
@section{argument}
group
A symbol among link::Reference/palette_color_groups::.
@section{METHOD}
window
Convenience method to get or set the color for the 'window' role.
@section{METHOD}
windowText
Convenience method to get or set the color for the 'windowText' role.
@section{METHOD}
button
Convenience method to get or set the color for the 'button' role.
@section{METHOD}
buttonText
Convenience method to get or set the color for the 'buttonText' role.
@section{METHOD}
base
Convenience method to get or set the color for the 'base' role.
@section{METHOD}
baseText
Convenience method to get or set the color for the 'baseText' role.
@section{METHOD}
highlight
Convenience method to get or set the color for the 'highlight' role.
@section{METHOD}
highlightText
Convenience method to get or set the color for the 'highlightText' role.
