skinning.gui.common.get_application()

Due to some strange bugs this turns out to be more complicated then it should be. Sometimes we can’t rely on the instance, sometimes the qApp doesn’t exist.

When a QCoreApplication is returned by either the q_application or the instance it is cast into a QApplication object.

Returns:Application Return type:QtWidgets.QApplication
