How to apply style sheet to nested properties?

Thinium

If we want the property to apply only to one specific instance, we can specify the object name in the style sheet.

// the style sheet will only apply to the object called evilButton

QPushButton#evilButton { background-color: red }

What if I want the following property to also be used by a specific object? I noticed that if I wrote QScrollBar#evilScroller:vertical, the style isn't applied at all.

QScrollBar:vertical{
      background:palette(base);
      border-top-right-radius:2px;
      border-bottom-right-radius:2px;
      width:16px;
      margin:0px;
    }

You have a QScrollBar named "evilButton"?

@Bonnie hahaha! Nope, sorry it's a bad example. I renamed it now. But I realize that the scrollers are automatically created by QGraphicScene and I've only set the window's objectName but not the scroller's object name. I don't know if I can actually set the scrollers' object names manually as QGraphicScene doesn't seem to have a function to access it's scrollers.

That's what I think.
We usually don't create a QScrollBar. They come with other container widgets.
So you probably did not use the right object name.
If it really has a object name of "evilScroller", I think the style sheet should work.

Hi
I assume you mean on QGraphicsView as QGraphicScene is nonvisual so I will be hugely surprised if it has scrollbars :)

In any case, if i set on the view, its used when scrollbar shows up
