    Hello,

    I would like to change the size of my tabs in my tabWidget. I read something like this:

    @tabWidget->setStyleSheet(
    "color:black;"
    "QTabBar::tab { height: 5px; width: 200px; }"
    );@
    but that does not work. What am I doing wrong?

      Use the following
      @tabWidget.setStyleSheet("QTabBar::tab { color:black; height: 50px; width: 100px; }");@

        It works, thank you! Out of curiosity, why does "color:black" have to be inside the QTabBar::tab brackets?

        Thanks!

          If you put it breaks the stylesheet syntax. Hence you need to put the right CSS syntax.
