Stylesheets for widget background
-
I am trying to set the background for a widget using a gradient however it appears only the child widgets of my widget are getting the background. For testing in my widget constructor I have something like this:
@
QVBoxLayout * layout = new QVBoxLayout();
QLabel * label = new QLabel("test");
layout->addWidget(label);
layout->addStretch(1);
setLayout(layout);setStyleSheet("QWidget{"
"background: qlineargradient(x1:0, y1:0, x2:0, y2:1, stop:0 #565656, stop:1 #383838);"
"}");
@What this does is put a gradient on my label but instead I want it to fill myself then further I do not want my child widgets to inherit this style. How would I go about doing this?
Thanks.

Found the answer to my own question, looks like I have to override the paintEvent as per the docs here "stylesheet reference":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/stylesheet-reference.html
Is there a way to set the style sheet for only myself and not my child widgets?
I'm half way there. :)
Thanks.
