QWebView ignores user style sheet

Justin Sayne

I'm trying to customize QWebView's scroll bars and can't get it done whatsoever. I've browsed the internet to come up with the following minimal example:

#include <QApplication>
#include <QWebView>

int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
  QApplication app( argc, argv );

  QWebSettings *settings = QWebSettings::globalSettings( );
  settings->setUserStyleSheetUrl( QUrl::fromLocalFile( "C:\style.css" ) );

  QWebView web_view;
  web_view.setUrl( QUrl( "http://www.google.de" ) );
  web_view.show( );

  app.exec( );

  return 0;
}

style.css contains:

::-webkit-scrollbar {
    width: 5px;
}

but the scroll bars don't change at all. I'm running Qt 5.5 (also tested 5.3.1) on Win10 but the scroll bars don't change at all. What am I doing wrong?

Hi! You got a typo here: QUrl::fromLocalFile( "C:\style.css" ).
