[Solved] How to restore QTextEdit original background color?

[hryqt]

Dear all,

I'm sorry if this is a silly question, but I have been searching everywhere.

What's the original background color of QTextEdit?

I change QTextEdit background color when the user click on it, and I want to restore it when it's not in edit mode anymore.

Do I need to know its original background color? or is there another way to achieve this (restoring original background color)?

Thanks a lot.

No, it's not white. It's like light greyish.

or u can set it in code like this:
@ this->ui->textEdit->setStyleSheet("background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255)");

That is not my point. What you refer to as rgb(255,255,255) will give "White" color.
But my original QTextEdit color is not white.

Yes, I agree. It's OS dependent.

That's why I want to know how to restore it back to its original color after I change it?

I thought I need to know the original color in order to restore it. Or maybe there's another way to do this.

If you want default OS style of an widget, just set style to empty string:
@setStyleSheet("");@
