TextEdit appearance

So we have QLineEdit in Widgets were you can see how big it is with the white background like this:

Now I thought to have a similar item like LineEdit I use TextEdit. But it shows up without borders:

Do I have to put it in a white rectangle to get the dame effect or am I missing something / using the wrong tyṕe?

Yes, TextEdit is the low level component for multiline text input, it doesn't have any decoration. Use TextArea instead.

For single line text input, TextField is based on TextInput.

I now used TextField which then looks similar to QLineEdit.
