GUI Customisation

Hello

What is the best way to go about customising the GUI? I mean particularly replacing the graphic elements. Does it need to be done with something like Resource Hacker?

If you want to customize the UI in MuseScore 1.1, you will indeed need Resource Hacker and it's not very convenient.

But there is an effort going on to make a better UI in the next version. So if you want to contribute a better UI for next version, download a nightly (http://prereleases.musescore.org/windows/nightly/) and check the "icons" directory. You can change them and MuseScore will pick them up on startup. There are currently 2 sets of icons for dark and bright themes. You can also change these styles with a CSS approach, check appstyle.css in the styles directory.
Style sheet syntax is documented here : http://doc.qt.nokia.com/stable/stylesheet-syntax.html

If you have any questions, feel free to post them here or to join the developer IRC #musescore on freenode.net
