[Solved ] Background color of QMenu by StyleSheet doen't work this

curator

Hi, I tried to work with Stylesheet and added in the constructor of my QMainWindow a line
@
this->setStyleSheet(" * {background-color: blue;color: yellow;} QPushButton {background-color: red;} QMenu::item::selected {background-color: black;}");
@

Basically, it works for all items, but not for the Menubar, which I create by
@
m_FileNew = new QAction("new database",this);
...
m_FileMenu = new QMenu("File", this);
menuBar()->addMenu(m_FileMenu);

m_FileMenu->addAction(m_FileNew);
m_FileMenu->addAction(m_FileOpen);
...
@

However, get GUI, all widgets are colored, even the entries in the menu "new database" etc., but not the "File" entry, where the background color is still gray (as default)

I tried to google around, but didnt find a solutation yet. Does anyone have an idea, what i got wrong or if there is a workaround.

kind regards,
curator

Try to set stylesheets for QMenuBar...

QMenu is a global scope for any kind of a menu, e.g. Context Menu.

Hi, thank you for your post.

Unfortunately, the Menu is neither yellow nor black. So I would expect, that it is already covered by "* {background-color: "

Am I correct?

Peppy

Yea, it is covered by that, but everything (from Window's background to buttons) will have that background color. And also try to define stylesheets for
@QMenuBar::item {}@

curator

It should be covered, but as I mentioned, ir remains at the original color.

Maybe it is a different problem:

Ich tried this example:
http://codeprogress.com/cpp/libraries/qt/QMenuBarSetMenuBackGround.php#.UTyXnFczSYQ

But, the Menu1 has NO red background an my PC. They mention problems with qtconfig, but I have no odea, what this means

Hi, finally, i made it.

I had to add the line:
@app.setStyle(QStyleFactory::create("fusion"));@

Now it works!
