Thank you JPN!

The style-sheets work fine to make the background a certain color. However, after doing
this (in the constructor):
Qt Code:
  1. pixmapLabel->setStyleSheet("background-color: black");
To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 
everything is always black and the actual pixmap that the QLabel (pixmapLabel) is supposed to show is all black and the picture is not seen.Looks like the background is sitting on top of the pixmap, not the other way around. Seems like I need to specify something more?
