QT Designer - Failing to Update GUI
-
Background:
I am developing a QT5 application, compiling in MSVC 2017 but using QT Designer for the UI.Problem:
I manually edit and update the style sheet of my QMainWindow within designer, using it as the global (and only) style sheet of my project. After changing and saving the sheet QT Designer fails to update the GUI and I must close and reopen the project in order to see the new effects.This is very annoying, as when I am fine tuning my GUI theme i must close and reopen every single time...
-
@jsulm I could not find anything reporting this as a bug within the Qt bug tracker, and couldn't even find something with "Qt Designer Style" (which I see as the simplest way to put this).
I couldn't find anyhitng about this online either so maybe its just not implemented. I thought this would be something many people would do/want, and thought there would be a simple way to refresh the project or something.
Thanks for the help though
@AlexanderAlexander You can file a change request in Qt bug tracker to ask for this feature :-)

@AlexanderAlexander Did you check the Qt bug tracker? Could be a bug, or it's not implemented at all.

Did you try using the refresh button in the form editor?
