Description
We have a hypothetical theme titled "**Cusis**" that has made a lot of commotion in the forums, mailing list, issue tracker and deviant art. To offer some features of this theme, we'll need to offer some better theme support in our code.
Obstacles/Milestones:
- [ ] Many widgets not currently themable #1806
- [x] Pattern clip preview support #1263
- [x] ~~Song Editor Graphics #150~~ - *probably obsolete*
- [x] Title Bar Theming Support #123 #2450
- [ ] Settings font size issues #541 [Milestone: 1.3]
Related Bug Reports:
- Modern/Sleek Theme for LMMS #880 (completed by #2806)
- Using QT Resource Engine #1742
- LMMS Futuremap #908
- Shaded Piano Octaves #669

Research direction
Start with the historical implementation at old-master/src/gui/cusis_style.cpp, then review the unchecked milestones and linked issues, especially #1806 and #541. The issue does not define a single entry point or bounded completion criterion; done would require resolving the remaining theming-support obstacles listed here.
