QTextEdit - unable to modify base color

[viniltc]

Hi All,

I've a QTextEdit called secondsText, I need to change the base color, so I tried as follows in the constructor, which doesn't work:

QPalette p = ui->secondsText->palette();
p.setColor(QPalette::Base, Qt::green);
ui->secondsText->setPalette(p);

Base color is still the default (white), what might be the issue?

@viniltc said in QTextEdit - unable to modify base color:

• Test against QPalette::Text, to verify whether that works on foreground, just so you know.
• If you have any stylesheet background-color specified, including back up the hierarchy I think, that will override.
