    @vinh not surprising, you have with that overwritten all default stylesheet settings and only specified an universal border

    take a look at this extensive stylesheet example, what else you can modify in combination with what selector

    Q: What's that?
    A: It's blue light.
    Q: What does it do?
    A: It turns blue.

      @J-Hilk tks, I'm try

      combobox->setStyleSheet( "QComboBox {border: 1px solid red;}" );
      

      but it set all, what is correct syntax?

        Hi,

        When you use style sheets you have to do the complete styling. Style sheets ignores the original style used to draw the controls.

          @SGaist So is there any other way? full styling is unnecessary for only border color.

            Depending on what you want to use that border color for you could consider using a QRubberBand.

              Hi
              You could also put the QComboBox in a QFrame+layout.
              (set all margins on layout to zero)
              alt text

                      Hi
                      Make sure to set the style sheet on the QFrame (ONLY)
                      and change it so it says
                      "QFrame {border: 1px solid red;}"

                      So you don't affect the Combobox inside. but only the QFrame.

                      So no stylesheet on Combobox but only on QFrame.
