How to retrieve the QPalette colors for the css ::hover state?

[Christiian]

I write this minimal example that prints the QPalette colors for the "states", "default", hover and disabled, but for the hover state it didnt retrieve the colors correctly.

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QApplication a(argc, argv);

    QWidget* widget = new QWidget();
	widget->setObjectName("widget");
	QSpinBox* spinBox = new QSpinBox();
	spinBox->setObjectName("spinBox");
	QTextEdit* textEdit = new QTextEdit();
	textEdit->setFixedSize(60, 20);
	QHBoxLayout* layout = new QHBoxLayout(widget);
	layout->addWidget(spinBox);
	layout->addWidget(textEdit); // random widget to have something else to grab focus

	widget->setStyleSheet(R"(
#spinBox
{
	background-color: rgba(1, 1, 1, 255);
	color: rgba(1, 1, 1, 255);
}
#spinBox::hover
{
	background-color: rgba(2, 2, 2, 255);
	color: rgba(2, 2, 2, 255);
}
#spinBox::disabled
{
	background-color: rgba(3, 3, 3, 255);
	color: rgba(3, 3, 3, 255);
}
	)");
	widget->show();

	static const auto colorToString = [](const QColor& color) -> QString
	{
		return QString("rgba: %1, %2, %3, %4").arg(color.red()).arg(color.green()).arg(color.blue()).arg(color.alpha());
	};

	static const auto printPallete = [](const QPalette& pal)
	{
		#define qq qDebug().noquote().nospace()
		qq << "\n ------ state ------\n"		<< pal.currentColorGroup();
		//qq << "\nWindowText:\n"				<< colorToString(pal.color(QPalette::WindowText));
		//qq << "\nButton:\n"					<< colorToString(pal.color(QPalette::Button));
		qq << "\color\n"					    << colorToString(pal.color(QPalette::ButtonText));
		//qq << "\nLight:\n"					<< colorToString(pal.color(QPalette::Light));
		//qq << "\nDark:\n"						<< colorToString(pal.color(QPalette::Dark));
		//qq << "\nMidlight:\n"					<< colorToString(pal.color(QPalette::Midlight));
		//qq << "\nText:\n"						<< colorToString(pal.color(QPalette::Text));
		//qq << "\nBrightText:\n"				<< colorToString(pal.color(QPalette::BrightText));
		//qq << "\nBase:\n"						<< colorToString(pal.color(QPalette::Base));
		qq << "\nbackground-color\n"		    << colorToString(pal.color(QPalette::Window));
		//qq << "\nShadow:\n"					<< colorToString(pal.color(QPalette::Shadow));
		//qq << "\nHighlight:\n"				<< colorToString(pal.color(QPalette::Highlight));
		//qq << "\nHighlightedText:\n"			<< colorToString(pal.color(QPalette::HighlightedText));
		//qq << "\nAlternateBase:\n"			<< colorToString(pal.color(QPalette::AlternateBase));
		//qq << "\nPlaceholderText:\n"			<< colorToString(pal.color(QPalette::PlaceholderText));
		//qq << "\nAccent:\n"					<< colorToString(pal.color(QPalette::Accent));
	};
	QObject::connect(new QShortcut(QKeySequence(Qt::Key_F1), widget), &QShortcut::activated, [&]
	{
		spinBox->setEnabled(true);
		printPallete(spinBox->palette());
	});
	QObject::connect(new QShortcut(QKeySequence(Qt::Key_F2), widget), &QShortcut::activated, [&]
	{
		spinBox->setEnabled(false);
		printPallete(spinBox->palette());
	});
    return a.exec();
}

Pressing the F1 shortcut while the QSpinBox is not hovered:

------ state ------
QPalette::Active
color
rgba: 1, 1, 1, 255

background-color
rgba: 1, 1, 1, 255

Pressing the F1 shortcut while hovering the QSpinBox:

 ------ state ------
QPalette::Active
color
rgba: 1, 1, 1, 255

background-color
rgba: 1, 1, 1, 255

It should be 2, 2, 2 as the stylesheet:

#spinBox::hover
{
    background-color: rgba(2, 2, 2, 255);
    color: rgba(2, 2, 2, 255);
}

Hitting F2 the shortcut disables the widget, reading the palette data it prints:

 ------ state ------
QPalette::Disabled
color
rgba: 3, 3, 3, 255

background-color
rgba: 3, 3, 3, 255

How i could read the hover colors for the text and background of a QWidget styled using stylesheet?

Unsatisfactory answer:
Try stylesheet().

But the new colors/style when hovering the widget apply, right?!
