Table view: custom alternate row colors?

[davecotter]

how do i get something like this?

when i try to use a style sheet, like this:

tracksList->setStyleSheet("alternate-background-color: #bfffbf; background-color: #deffde;");

it colorizes the ENTIRE background including the header (sort-column) bar, and gives me non-platform scroll bars. this is supposed to be a mac (with mac scroll bars):

I just want the table view background color set, not the sort-column header nor the scroll bars. how?

try using the item scope tracksList->setStyleSheet("QTableView::item:alternate { background-color: #bfffbf; } QTableView::item { background-color: #deffde; }");

holy cats you guys! that worked!

okay so the final part is: now that i've got the BG colors lookin sweet, suddenly the SELECTION color is all wiggy. ie: without setting the alt-rows colors, selection looks like this:

but WITH the alt-rows colors set, it looks like this?

ie: no actual selection hilight, but the text does turns white?

I actually need it to have that very dark selection look. I don't see in the doc on style sheets how to accomplish that?

@davecotter Hi,
Use palette instead of stylesheet so you will not have the issue with selection.

QPalette p = tracksList.palette();
p.setColor(QPalette::Base, color1);
p.setColor(QPalette::AlternateBase, color2);
tracksList.setPalette(p);
