Text in Qt Designer more or less unreadable

HenningF

Hi,

I used Qt programming in KDE 2 / 3 long time ago.
Now I am doing a few tests if Qt would meet my needs here on Windows.

So, starting to design a main window ui class in designer. The text in the object inspector in a selected cell is more or less unreadable. White and black color is mixed over a dark green background, see attached screnshot at objectName. It is more a wild guess during typing. After leaving the edited cell, the text is readable. And, please note, the text is not blurred by me (object name is no secret...).

Used system is Win11.

Any suggestions?

Hi and welcome to devnet,

Which version of Qt Creator are you using ?
You might want to try forcing it to use the windowsvista style.

Hi,
thank you for your advice. I will try.
I am using version 6.7.2. I do not use Qt Creator. I start the Designer stand alone (and do the C++ stuff with CLion).

That's not an issue, the same suggestion applies to starting Designer as well.

I am having the same issue in two different machines here running Windows 11. Designer version is 6.7.2 and happens both in the executable that comes with Qt Creator and the PySide6 installed via pip. However, if I open Qt Creator and then open the ui file from Creator, it works fine. Installed version 6.5.3 and it worked fine too, but UI was clearly updated from 6.5.3 from 6.7.2, which lead me to believe it is a bug present in the newer version.
Forcing style, as suggested, doesn`t have an effect because the bug is in the designer interface, not in the ui that is being edited.

Worked for me!

Looks like the issue is also fixed in upcoming Qt 6.8.0. I can't reproduce it in the latest RC packages, at least.
