QTabBar and different background color

[smrtak]

I want change color all tab different color, but i dont find the solution.
I try overload the class QTabBar and QTabWidget, but its not possible? paintEvent have some private class and variables...

I have idea overload the QTabBar::initStyleOption, add here only one line to change background color for tab index, but this function its not VIRTUAL

qt 4.5.1

Any idea?

Sorry for english

No need to subclass anything.
Just use QPalette.

Can you give me little example how to set background color only for second tab?

I didn't understand that you wanted each tab to have a different color, that is a different matter.

Hmm... maybe you can work around it by setting an icon, and setting its size to the tab size...

The other way (that I see) is to override the QTabBar:aintEvent() but you should know if you are up to it.

tihs function use some a private member of private class... looks very hard... i think QTabBar not have good support for override

this is good idea, but here can be problem with translation support ( tr() ), i must use icon + text, .. i try this way, thx for help

I've tried to override paintEvent(), but without success so far.
Was anyone able to do this?
