In Razor, and I think this goes for lxde-qt as well, the libraries _not_
meant for external applications. Only lxde-qt modules. One of the reasons
is that if we start offering the libraries for external use, we take on the
burden of maintaining an api, guaranteeing backwards compatibility etc. If
you think of lxde-qt modules as clients here, you might want to look at
lxqtsettings.h and the Settings class. It has a signal 'settingsChanged'
signal allowing those lxde-qt modules that use that class to react to
(among other things) theme changes.
