Change QDialog window text color to black

[Rangerguy128]

I've been working on a qdialog window that provides the user the option to choose any of two methods. The problem is that it looks like this:

This is how I have the code for the window constructed:

def metodo(self):
        methods = ["Watershed", "Hough Circle"]
        input_dialog = QInputDialog(self)
        input_dialog.setWindowTitle("Choose Method")
        input_dialog.setLabelText("Select counting method:")
        input_dialog.setComboBoxItems(methods)
        # Set a custom stylesheet for QInputDialog
        input_dialog.setStyleSheet("color: black;")
        method, ok = input_dialog.getItem(self, "Choose Method", "Select counting method:", methods, 0, False)

        if ok and method:
            if method == "Watershed":
                self.m = 'w'
            elif method == "Hough Circle":
                self.m = 'h'
            self.counter()
        else:
            QMessageBox.information(self, "No Selection", "You didn't select a method.")

Any tips? Been trying to change the color of the text to black but it always end up being white.

Somewhere you must have defined a stylesheet that sets the color to white...
and you don't see black text, because the dialog you see is this one:

method, ok = input_dialog.getItem(self, "Choose Method", "Select counting method:", methods, 0, False)

and NOT the one you configured above:

        methods = ["Watershed", "Hough Circle"]
        input_dialog = QInputDialog(self)
        input_dialog.setWindowTitle("Choose Method")
        input_dialog.setLabelText("Select counting method:")
        input_dialog.setComboBoxItems(methods)
        # Set a custom stylesheet for QInputDialog
        input_dialog.setStyleSheet("color: black;")

Try this and you will see:

def metodo(self):
        methods = ["Watershed", "Hough Circle"]
        input_dialog = QInputDialog(self)
        input_dialog.setWindowTitle("Choose Method")
        input_dialog.setLabelText("Select counting method:")
        input_dialog.setComboBoxItems(methods)
        # Set a custom stylesheet for QInputDialog
        input_dialog.setStyleSheet("color: black;")
        method, ok = input_dialog.getItem(self, "Choose Method", "Select counting method:", methods, 0, False)
        # after you close the white one,
        # the correct dialog with black text should show up
        input_dialog.show() 

        if ok and method:
            if method == "Watershed":
                self.m = 'w'
            elif method == "Hough Circle":
                self.m = 'h'
            self.counter()
        else:
            QMessageBox.information(self, "No Selection", "You didn't select a method.")

The reason for this is all the "getXXXXX" method from QInputDialog are static and create their own instance of QInputDialog (that's why you also had to configure the title and content twice).
Either use the static one OR remove the getItem and work with your input_dialog instance

Not 100% sure about the syntax, but you can don something like:

input_dialog.accepted.connect(lambda:
                         if input_dialog.textValue() == "Watershed":
                            self.m = 'w'
                         elif input_dialog.textValue() == "Hough Circle":
                             self.m = 'h'
                         self.counter()
                     )
