Applying a certain stylesheet at the mainwindow, will also be applied to any QWidget in that window

So i had set the mainwindows stylesheet as:
@border-image: url(:/icons/Pictures/Background.png) 4 4 4 4 stretch stretch;@

In the above screenshot u can see
2 spacers
a Qwidget
inside of the Qwidget a label

The qwidget has stylesheet
@QWidget {\nbackground-color: black;\n}@

but u can see that the background is not black... why is that?

Hi,

style sheets are always also valid for derived classes.
But you have moire options for the selector, so if your main windows class has a special name (or a special class) use that as selector and it does what you want. Have a look at the style sheet documentation.

Not only for derived classes, but especially for child objects. That's why they are called cascading: any style you set on a parent object, will propagate down towards child widgets too. There is no way to stop that from happening, other than to use a more specific selector for the parent style so that it does not apply to the child widgets you don't want it to apply for.
