How to set background color of my QTextEdit?

qwe3

Hi,

I have QTextEdit object. I would like to change his background color to color, which my MainWindow has ( it is gray ). How can I do that?

I tried like this:

    QPalette palette2 = textEdit->palette();
    palette2.setColor(QPalette::Window,palette().color(QWidget::backgroundRole()));
    textEdit->setPalette(palette2);

I believe if you want to do it this way you have to set autoFillBackground.

You don't have to do that if you use stylesheet instead.

Hi
It has to be the right role. QWidget::backgroundRole() is not used it seems.

Try

    QPalette p = ui->textEdit->palette();
    p.setColor(QPalette::Base, Qt::red); // BG
    p.setColor(QPalette::Text, Qt::white); // (plain) TEXT
    ui->textEdit->setPalette(p);
