Problem with QPlainTextEdit as a child QWidget in MainWindow

[budda]

well now I took a big turn and decided to go with adding the Text into a QGraphicsView scene.
This works out better so that I can use hovering and such, but how the heck do you change the text color and background text color for a one character graphicsItem? I tried in the stylesheet in the QGraphicsView in the ui, and have goofed with QBrush, and QPen. but they don't seem to be supported in QGraphicsScene.??¿¿?? The QFont is not helpful at all either....

here's what I have for the drawing of the text to the scene.... going to use a QList<QStringList> as QGraphicsItem item, and then item->setPos(x,y) to put everything where I want, but I need to be able to change the font color...

I kinda don't want to use a tableWidget, just the GraphicsView/Scene

ui->graphicsView_3->setSceneRect(0,0,691, 381);
    dataScene.setSceneRect(0,0,691,381);
 
    //QPen pen(Qt::black, 1);
 
   //need to change color of text here:
 
 
/*
    QFont console("Lucida Console", 10, QFont::Bold);
    QGraphicsItem* item = dataScene.addText("A", console);  
                    //   "A" will be replaced with variable QString to 
                    // draw out a table... 
    item->setPos(50,50);
*/
 
    dataScene.addText("Hello World");  //temp test string
 
    ui->graphicsView_3->setScene(& dataScene);
    ui->graphicsView_3->show();

ui->graphicsView_3->setSceneRect(0,0,691, 381);
    dataScene.setSceneRect(0,0,691,381);

    //QPen pen(Qt::black, 1);
    
   //need to change color of text here:


/*
    QFont console("Lucida Console", 10, QFont::Bold);
    QGraphicsItem* item = dataScene.addText("A", console);  
                    //   "A" will be replaced with variable QString to 
                    // draw out a table... 
    item->setPos(50,50);
*/

    dataScene.addText("Hello World");  //temp test string

    ui->graphicsView_3->setScene(& dataScene);
    ui->graphicsView_3->show();
