I used coding, modified the demo called textedit.

I will update the code I used for color change and so on when I get back home.

[AlekseyOk]

use style sheet as Riz proposed

@
QTextEdit
{
color: white;
background-color: black;
}
@

Here is the code I used to change the colors:

@QPalette p = textEdit->palette();
p.setColor(QPalette::Base, QColor(0, 0, 0));
textEdit->setPalette(p);

textEdit->setFrameShape(QFrame::NoFrame);
textEdit->setTextColor(QColor(255,255,255));
@
If I use a style sheet, is it possible to change the colors on the run too? The background color won't change but text color might.

[AlekseyOk]

Yes, you can change style sheet at runtime:

@
QFile file("style.css");
if(file.open(QFile::ReadOnly))
{
QString styleSheet(file.readAll());
widget->setStyleSheet(styleSheet);
file.close();
}
@

Thanks Riz and Aleksey, it works now, using this
@
textEdit->setStyleSheet(
"QTextEdit"
"{"
"color: white;"
"background-color: black;"
"}"
);@

So the cursor color can be set by setting color: whatever in a stylesheet.. But apparently not with setTextColor() or any other function of textEdit.. weird, but I'm glad it works now.

Yeah Aleksey0k is Right...!!! We can change the StyleSheet at Runtime too....

Your Welcome.. Happy Coding... :) Simple way of coding is..

@TextEdit->setStyleSheet("background-color: black; color : white");@

Thats all.... No Need for going for a QPalette and all..

[Macro]

If you are using setTextColor(),

@TextEdit->setTextColor(Qt::white);@

will change the Text Color Alone. But the Text Cursor will remain the default Black in color...
