I don't know for sure, but https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/stylesheet-examples.html#customizing-qgroupbox shows e.g. QGroupBox {border: 2px solid gray;} so try playing with that?

Hi @davecotter

Yes, Its possible.

ui->groupBox->setStyleSheet("QGroupBox {"
                            "background-color: qlineargradient(x1: 0, y1: 0, x2: 0, y2: 1, stop: 0 #E0E0E0, stop: 1 #FFFFFF);"
                            "border: 2px solid gray;"
                            "border-radius: 5px;"
                            "margin-top: 1ex;"
                            "}");

All the best.

using style sheet, i can't for the life of me get the "GroupBox" text to draw ABOVE the group box line, it's always INSIDE, obscuring the first thing inside the box.

Hi @davecotter

Did you check the documentation link shared by @JonB

Refer :

• Customizing QGroupBox : QGroupBox::title { }

Below is sample code & Output.

    ui->groupBox->setStyleSheet("QGroupBox {"
                                "background-color: qlineargradient(x1: 0, y1: 0, x2: 0, y2: 1, stop: 0 #E0E0E0, stop: 1 #FFFFFF);"
                                "border: 2px solid gray;"
                                "border-radius: 5px;"
                                "margin-top: 10ex;"
                                "}"
                                "QGroupBox::title {"
                                "subcontrol-origin: margin;"
                                "padding: 5 0px;"
                                "}");

All the best.
