Unable to change progress bar background color [SOLVED]

[adnan]

I tried this as per documentation, but it didn't work:
@ui->progressBar->setStyleSheet("background-color: #05B8CC;width: 20px;");@

your code is working on ubuntu, plastique style.(and others, you can try it out using the preview in Qt Creator)

I guess you are on windows? It's the windows style that prevents it then.

Have a look at the " style sheet" example. That's a good way of testing al your stylesheets out.

I also use Ubuntu (Gnome3 gtk+). I tried again with a simple form having just a progress bar, but no change.
@#include "mainwindow.h"
#include "ui_mainwindow.h"

MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget *parent) :
QMainWindow(parent),
ui(new Ui::MainWindow)
{
ui->setupUi(this);
ui->progressBar->setStyleSheet("background-color: yellow");
}

MainWindow::~MainWindow()
{
delete ui;
}@

did you try it out using plastique style?

As I mentioned it's the style preventing stylesheets to make changes. I guess you will need to make your own style.

I tried plastique style also but no effect. Isn't there any other alternative, nevertheless thanks!

It is working in style sheets example but not otherwise, i need to look into it. Is there anything wrong in my syntax

[adnan]

Yes it worked at last, but not with GTK+. Most probably it’s the GTK+ style preventing stylesheets to make changes as my system style is also GTK+

If changing the used style is ok for you then it's solved? AFAIK GTK+ style is like windows style preventing stylesheet changes on some parts.

Could you please edit your first post and add [solved] in the title?
