QComboBox foregroun color not displayed in main widget

Dariusz

Hey

I'm trying to set different color of text per item. However when the item gets picked the color is still as "standard" and not the one I set.. Any hints?

    self.comboTest = QComboBox()
    self.comboTest.addItems(["test A", "testB", "testC"])
    self.comboTest.setItemData(1, QBrush(Qt.red),Qt.ForegroundRole )
    self.comboTest.setItemData(2, QBrush(Qt.blue), Qt.ForegroundRole )

Any ideas?

TIA

Hi
That sets the colors when drawn.
It sounds like you want to also change the selection color ?

So in a "human" test it works, if I set it, it works properly. But when I try to load my settings and set it "programmatically", even tho it says it sets pallets (btw I had to use ButtonText). Then it does not work... sigh. Its bananas. Will try to make simple examples.
