troubles with changing progressBar color

The progressBar is green. No change at all.

Ok, which style and Qt version do you use, because the sample works well at my system?

**dilidpan** · 29th April 2009, 09:26

I am programming on Windows XP and use Qt Creator 1.0.0 Based on Qt 4.5.0.

I did it

. It works with suggestion from the following link: http://www.qtcentre.org/forum/f-qt-p...eet-20557.html
from this forum -> problem in QProgressBar setStyleSheet.

They work with style sheets not with palette? Which suggestion do you refer to?

They do it by setting the style sheet, similar to this:

ui_lcd.progressBar->setStyleSheet("QProgressBar::chunk {background: qlineargradient(x1: 0, y1: 0.5, x2: 1, y2: 0.5, stop: 0 red, stop: 1 white); }");

ui_lcd.progressBar->update();
ui_lcd.progressBar->show();

that does what I needed...

thanks to everyone involved!

P.S. note what that post warns about -- have to set the style sheet in a *single* setStyleSheet() call...
