How to use the outline option in stylesheet?

I tried this:

border-image: url(:/tv.png);
outline-color: rgb(0, 255, 255);
outline-style: solid;

But nothing were drawn into the image. I tested on a QWidget.

Outline is a weird one. Seems to be only used by buttons to indicate focus.

What exactly is the problem?
The missing image or the missing frame around it?

@Axel-Spoerl missing frame, only the image is painted, the outline dont.

Ah. You initially said that „nothing were drawn into the image“….
A style sheet is meant to design existing elements of a widget, not to create such elements. In your case, a QWidget doesn’t have a frame. So the outline property is ignored. A QFrame or a QPushButton has such elements and thus reacts to outline styling.
