Application-Wide Stylesheet not applied on widget

[Chris Kawa]

Sounds like a problem with missing/incorrect implementation of the paintEvent. Can you show it?

Btw. Calling show() from a constructor is bad manners. What if someone just wants an instance of your class without showing it (e.g. to put it in a stack or a tab)? Don't decide for them.

No, the MACRO is there. If i've had forgotten the MACRO the setStyleSheet in the constructor wouldn't work.

no, since you're not using a class name in this style declaration...

Show the definition in the QSS file before the one that isn't working. Maybe you've a parsing error in it.

[jensen82]

@Chris-Kawa Yes, i know. The show was for testing purposes.

[jensen82]

@raven-worx The parsing-test was successful. No parsing error present.

Here's the Headerfile for TopNavigationLine:

class TopNavigationLine : public AUTBaseWidget {
    Q_OBJECT
    public:
    explicit TopNavigationLine(QWidget* parent = 0);
    ~TopNavigationLine();

    private:
    Ui::TopNavigationLine* ui;
};

@jensen82
you should please provide what you were asked for in order to receive proper help.

[jensen82]

@Chris-Kawa So here's the paintEvent

void AUTBaseWidget::paintEvent(QPaintEvent* event)
{
    Q_UNUSED(event);
    QStyleOption opt;
    opt.init(this);
    QPainter p(this);
    style()->drawPrimitive(QStyle::PE_Widget, &opt, &p, this);
}

This code works for other derived widgets

i am wondering how you exactly checked for an error?
A normal CSS parser isn't appropriate here btw.

Isn't there a superfluous semi-colon in setStyleSheet("background-color: rgb(77 , 77, 77);"); ?

[jensen82]

@Ian-Bray No. I think i got the error. I saved the file in UTF-8 and now it works. Strange...

Thank you all for your help!
