Using HSV for background-color?

[BoGut]

Hello fellow QT'ers,

I've looked at the documentation and can't seem to find a way to use HSV values instead of RGB when declaring a background-color. Is this even possible? I've seen that QColor has a SetHSV method but how do you pass that into the background-color?

Thanks in advance.

@BoGut You can use QColor::name() like this:

this.setStyleSheet(QString("QPushButton:checked { background-color: %1; border: none }").arg(color.name()));

See https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/stylesheet-reference.html at the Color property

Hi Christian, I took a look and only see a hardcoded color name "red".
Here's what I've tried so far:

QColor color;
color.setHsv(206, 17, 97);
this.setStyleSheet("QPushButton:checked { background-color: color; border: none }");

and it's just compiling to a button with dark background.

This code can not work. You pass a string to setStyleSheet so it can't catch the value of 'color'.

Ahhh right, I can pass it as a variable. Thanks I'll try and post an update once I get it to work.
