@payman i have no experience with accessibility on Linux. But maybe the following helps you: Qt Accessibility is based on AT-SPI via DBus on Unix/X11 and is tested to be working on Gnome and KDE. Are you sure that i3wm even supports accessibility?

OK found a solution, for those interested, it's based on the fact that maybe the root item can't access the handle but the handle on the other hand can access the root item. So I created a binding between handle's state and slider's state : Slider { anchors { fill: parent margins: 10; } id: slider value: 0.5 style : SliderStyle { groove: Rectangle { id: background /* ... */ } handle: Rectangle { id: handle /* ... */ opacity: 0.0 // Bind slider's state and handle's state state: slider.state == "hovered" ? "hovered" : "" states : [ State { name: "hovered" PropertyChanges { target: handle ; opacity: 1.0 } } ] } } MouseArea { anchors.fill: parent hoverEnabled: true onEntered: { slider.state = "hovered" } onExited: { slider.state = "" } } states: [ State { name: "hovered" } ] }

@raven-worx OMG thank you so much!! Your link had the answer and now it works perfectly! I can't thank you enough, you're a hero :)

Hi, What version of Qt are you trying to build ? Which options did you pass to configure ? What was the configuration summary ?
