Hi,

I 'm using the window10 platform.

Is this a platform-specific issue?

Is there any solution?

[J.Hilk]

@mrjj jep that's the issue.

on windows I have the same issues as the op with the stylesheet and on macOS It works as intended:

I never got it to work on win 10. ( worked fine in linux, win 7)
I didn't find any solutions back then but maybe
other have found way now.

@mrjj , @J-Hilk

The information has helped a lot.

Let me try to solve it.

I know this topic is too old but think it help anyone else.
If set stylesheet right after initialisatioin of QApplication like that

QApplication a(argc, argv);
qApp->setStyleSheet("QToolTip {opacity: 150;}"); 

it's take effect.

Then you can just change background or font colors in widgets

mybutton->setToolTip("this test");
mybutton->setStyleSheet("QToolTip {background-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(200, 200, 200);}");

@Dominikanetz it doesn't work on linux

@cawell which version of Qt? Unfortunately this has a direct relationship. On version 5.9, everything worked fine everywhere. At 5.12 it was broken and it worked as I mentioned above. I didn't look further
