@Sriu1
And what did you actually try in your stylesheet?
https://stackoverflow.com/a/35487195/489865 gives the answer for Qt 5.

Hi
@JonB
I tried
ui->myCheckbox->setStyleSheet("QCheckBox:unchecked{ color: red; }QCheckBox:checked{ color: white; }");
Not working my background is black.

I want only the label text to be changed.Like in the normal qlabels where we set rich text and select color.

• I don't see why setting color rather than background-color style would change background color.
• The stackoverflow post is in answer to questioner's

can somebody help me with code to change color of check box text label.

I take that to refer to the color (foreground) of the text. However, I leave it to you.

Hi

Use
ui->mycheckbox->setstyleSheet{ QString( " QCheckBox{ color: white; }"); }

For indicator color use :
QString("QCheckBox::indicator { border: 1px solid #4198EF }")

and you can use some Icon for checked check box:

QString("QCheckBox::indicator:checked {") +
QString("image: url(") + checkedCheckBoxIconPath() + QString("); ") +
QString("}");

Also check if parent widget is overriding this styles something like setStyleSheet(QWidget { color: black; });

To change the text color, you can modify the palette:

QPalette palette = myCheckBox->palette();
    palette.setColor(WindowText, QColor(Qt::red));
    myCheckBox->setPalette(palette);

Try

setStylesheet("QCheckBox::QLabel {color: red;}")
