Hi
I have been looking to change the QDial as well. But according to this post about the appearance change, it can not be done (at the moment)

You can look into previous code of Qt and copy the code.
You will need to override the paintEvent.

From the linked blog:
Old styles like motif and windows classic will still get the old looks because that’s what they are… old
On Linux, use:
QDial::setStyle(new QMotifStyle)

QDial is more of an input widget rather than a display widget.
