<![CDATA[Styling a QTabWidget to have the Tab-button on left side and horizontal text]]>Hello!

I am trying to figure out how make my QTabWidget look like this:

alt text

P.S. I dont use Python but C++.

I followed the example found in this code: https://forum.qt.io/topic/86186/horizontal-text-in-qtabwidget/2

But as you can see my result below is a bit different. First of all the tab text is not known. It does not matter if I change its color:

ui->setupUi(this);
ui->tabWidget->tabBar()->setStyle(new CustomTabStyle);
ui->tabWidget->tabBar()->setTabTextColor(0, Qt::red);

alt text

Also it seems for some reason I canot not change the width. I also wishes to make the content inside the tabs horizontal.

Thanks for guidance!

Hi
Its a little bit surprising as clean project with the Delegate gives me
alt text

Could you try test project ?

and see if that just works or have issues.

Did you use the example as is ?
What version of Qt are you using ?
On what version of Windows ?
