    \class QMacStyle
    \brief The QMacStyle class provides a Mac OS X style using the Apple Appearance Manager.

    \ingroup appearance

    This class is implemented as a wrapper to the HITheme
    APIs, allowing applications to be styled according to the current
    theme in use on Mac OS X. This is done by having primitives
    in QStyle implemented in terms of what Mac OS X would normally theme.

    \warning This style is only available on Mac OS X because it relies on the
    HITheme APIs.

    There are additional issues that should be taken
    into consideration to make an application compatible with the
    \link http://developer.apple.com/documentation/UserExperience/Conceptual/OSXHIGuidelines/index.html
    Apple Human Interface Guidelines \endlink. Some of these issues are outlined
    below.

    \list

    \i Layout - The restrictions on window layout are such that some
    aspects of layout that are style-dependent cannot be achieved
    using QLayout. Changes are being considered (and feedback would be
    appreciated) to make layouts QStyle-able. Some of the restrictions
    involve horizontal and vertical widget alignment and widget size
    (covered below).

    \i Widget size - Mac OS X allows widgets to have specific fixed sizes.  Qt
    does not fully implement this behavior so as to maintain cross-platform
    compatibility. As a result some widgets sizes may be inappropriate (and
    subsequently not rendered correctly by the HITheme APIs).The
    QWidget::sizeHint() will return the appropriate size for many
    managed widgets (widgets enumerated in \l QStyle::ContentsType).

    \i Effects - QMacStyle uses HITheme for performing most of the drawing, but
    also uses emulation in a few cases where HITheme does not provide the
    required functionality (for example, tab bars on Panther, the toolbar
    separator, etc). We tried to make the emulation as close to the original as
    possible. Please report any issues you see in effects or non-standard
    widgets.

    \endlist

    There are other issues that need to be considered in the feel of
    your application (including the general color scheme to match the
    Aqua colors). The Guidelines mentioned above will remain current
    with new advances and design suggestions for Mac OS X.

    Note that the functions provided by QMacStyle are
    reimplementations of QStyle functions; see QStyle for their
    documentation.

    This type is used to signify a widget's focus rectangle policy.

    \value FocusEnabled  show a focus rectangle when the widget has focus.

    \value FocusDefault  show a focus rectangle when the widget has

/*! \fn void QMacStyle::setFocusRectPolicy(QWidget *w, FocusRectPolicy policy)
    \obsolete
    Sets the focus rectangle policy of \a w. The \a policy can be one of
    \l{QMacStyle::FocusRectPolicy}.

    This is now simply an interface to the Qt::WA_MacShowFocusRect attribute and the
    FocusDefault value does nothing anymore. If you want to set a widget back
    to its default value, you must save the old value of the attribute before
    you change it.

/*! \fn QMacStyle::FocusRectPolicy QMacStyle::focusRectPolicy(const QWidget *w)
    \obsolete
    Returns the focus rectangle policy for the widget \a w.

    The focus rectangle policy can be one of \l{QMacStyle::FocusRectPolicy}.

    In 4.3 and up this function will simply test for the
    Qt::WA_MacShowFocusRect attribute and will never return
    QMacStyle::FocusDefault.
