You can change your applications color scheme by tweaking QPalette and 
calling QApplication.setPalette().

You're mixing color schemes and styles here. Since some QStyles are 
loaded as a plugin, Phil doesn't support QStyle subclassing at all. 
To support this, an auxilliary sip module needs to be created, that 
copes with the nature of plugins. 

Please refer to a discussion of mine with Phil half a year ago on this 
list.

Well, themes derive from QStyle and stylesheets manipulate QStyle 
attributes.
