Solved Element color in custom style

[gabodev]

Hi!
I'm creating a custom style from QProxyStyle and I need the arrow indicator to be white because the background is dark:

def drawPrimitive(self, element, opt, painter, widget):
        if element == QStyle.PE_PanelButtonTool:
            pressed = (opt.state & STATE_SUNKEN | opt.state & STATE_ON)
            color = QColor("#323232")
            if pressed:
                color = QColor("#222222")
            elif opt.state & STATE_ENABLED and opt.state & STATE_MOUSEOVER:
                color = QColor("#4e4e4e")
            painter.fillRect(opt.rect, color)
        elif element == QStyle.PE_IndicatorArrowDown:
            painter.setBrush(QColor("white"))
            QProxyStyle.drawPrimitive(self, element, opt, painter, widget)
        else:
            QProxyStyle.drawPrimitive(self, element, opt, painter, widget)

But that doesn't work, I'm forgetting something?

Thanks!

Hi

QStyle.PE_IndicatorArrowDown:

Are you sure that it draws any background and not just an image ?
I would go and look at the original code to see what is being drawn.

https://code.woboq.org/qt5/qtbase/src/widgets/styles/qcommonstyle.cpp.html
Line 707

Seems to be no brush involved :)

@mrjj Thank you very much! I have researched and been able to do what I was looking for. Here's what I did:

def drawPrimitive(self, element, opt, painter, widget):
        if element == QStyle.PE_PanelButtonTool:
            pressed = (opt.state & STATE_SUNKEN | opt.state & STATE_ON)
            color = QColor("#323232")
            if pressed:
                color = QColor("#222222")
            elif opt.state & STATE_ENABLED and opt.state & STATE_MOUSEOVER:
                color = QColor("#4e4e4e")
            painter.fillRect(opt.rect, color)
        elif element == QStyle.PE_IndicatorArrowDown or \
                element == QStyle.PE_IndicatorArrowUp:
            r = opt.rect
            size = min(r.height(), r.width())
            image = QImage(size, size, QImage.Format_ARGB32_Premultiplied)
            image.fill(Qt.transparent)
            image_painter = QPainter(image)
            image_painter.setPen(QColor("#bdbfc0"))
            image_painter.setBrush(QColor("#bdbfc0"))
            polygon = QPolygon()
            polygon.append(QPoint(0, r.width() * 0.5))
            if element == QStyle.PE_IndicatorArrowDown:
                polygon.append(QPoint(size, size * 0.6))
                polygon.append(QPoint(size / 2, size * 0.1))
            else:
                polygon.append(QPoint(size, size * 0.5))
                polygon.append(QPoint(size / 2, size * 0.9))
            image_painter.drawPolygon(polygon)
            image_painter.end()
            pixmap = QPixmap.fromImage(image)

            painter.drawPixmap(r.x() + (r.width() - size) / 2,
                               r.y() + (r.height() - size) / 2, pixmap)
        else:
            QProxyStyle.drawPrimitive(self, element, opt, painter, widget)

Regards!
