GoldenDict

Source Code

https://github.com/goldendict/goldendict

Release

https://sourceforge.net/projects/goldendict/files/early%20access%20builds/Qt5-based/64bit/

Style

GoldenDict uses web-kit for core content display and QT for UI frame. Both use css for styling. Set Display style as Babylon in Preference and have the following css deployed under working directory:

article-style.css

body {
    margin: 1.25em 1.5em 1em 0.7em;
}

.gdarticle * {
    font-family: "Microsoft Yahei";
    line-height: 1.8em;
}

.gddicticon {
    display: none;
}

.gddictname {
    border-top-left-radius: 0;
}

qt-style.css

MainWindow
{
    background: #ffffff;
}

MainWindow #searchPane #translateLine, MainWindow #searchPane #wordList
{
    background: #f0eded;
    padding-left: 0.1em;
}

MainWindow #translateLine, ScanPopup #translateLine, MainWindow #wordList, MainWindow #dictsPane #dictsList, MainWindow #historyPane #historyList
{
    background: #ffffff;
    border: none;
    margin: 6px;
}

* {
    font-family: "Microsoft Yahei";
}

MainWindow #tabWidget{
    border-width:0px;
}

Fast Search Script

; To SZL, with best wishes
#NoEnv  ; Recommended for performance and compatibility with future AutoHotkey releases.
; #Warn  ; Enable warnings to assist with detecting common errors.
SendMode Input  ; Recommended for new scripts due to its superior speed and reliability.
SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir%  ; Ensures a consistent starting directory.
