Using a palette to set the color of a labels text in QtDesigner

[daviddoria]

Nope, with all styles the text is still black. Does it work for you?

[andre]

You are right: it does not, and that is strange.

[daviddoria]

Andre - so what should I do? haha

Do you think this is an actual bug that I should report?

[andre]

Perhaps you should, yes. When you do, please refer to this topic in your report, and report back with a link to the report in this topic.

[daviddoria]

Designer didn't seem to be an option to report bugs, so I posted it under Creator: https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTCREATORBUG-7638

[andre]

Are you sure it is a creator bug, and not an issue with Qt itself?

[daviddoria]

Oh, no, maybe it is a Qt thing, since it doesn't show up correctly at run time either. I guess I was assuming it was just not getting set properly. It didn't look like I could list the bug in two categories - maybe I'll leave it here for a few days and move it if it doesn't get any attention?

[andre]

If it doesn't show correctly at runtime either, then it is a Qt issue. The fact that QtCreator doesn't show the change is just a result of that. After all, QtCreator is build on Qt as well. :-)

As per comment in the bugreport by Volker:
The palette does work, but the role to use is the WindowText (top one in Designer).

No clue why I missed that before.

[daviddoria]

Interesting... that did work. What is the difference between Text and WindowText?

Also, is there a reason that almost every basic widget is represented in the Edit Palette -> Preview Window except QLabel?

[andre]

Now, that is a Qt Creator issue :-)

I guess it is because the labels of the checkboxes behave the same anyway?
