QToolBar setstylesheet Problem

[sudheer168]

Hi every one ,

I am using QT4.4.3 under windows XP . I am trying to change the style of toolbar of mainwindow that mean I am trying to change the color of the tool bar , but i am not able to do it . The code I tried is

QToolBar *fileToolBar = new QToolBar(this);
fileToolBar ->setStyleSheet("QToolBar{background:gray;}");

QToolBar *fileToolBar = new QToolBar(this);
fileToolBar ->setStyleSheet("QToolBar{background:gray;}");

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

So please suggest me how to change the style of the tool bar so that i can set my own color or gradient .


Regards
Sudheer.

got the same problem, using qt4.4.6.2 at ubuntu 10.04 linux 2.6.32-22.37

QToolBar* mainToolBar;
 
...
 
    mainToolBar = new QToolBar(this);
    mainToolBar->setObjectName(QString::fromUtf8("mainToolBar"));
    mainToolBar->setStyleSheet("QToolBar { background:red; }");
    mainToolBar->setMovable(false);
    mainToolBar->setAllowedAreas(Qt::TopToolBarArea);
    mainToolBar->setIconSize(QSize(56, 56));
    mainToolBar->setToolButtonStyle(Qt::ToolButtonTextUnderIcon);
    mainToolBar->setFont(font);
...

QToolBar* mainToolBar;

...

    mainToolBar = new QToolBar(this);
    mainToolBar->setObjectName(QString::fromUtf8("mainToolBar"));
    mainToolBar->setStyleSheet("QToolBar { background:red; }");
    mainToolBar->setMovable(false);
    mainToolBar->setAllowedAreas(Qt::TopToolBarArea);
    mainToolBar->setIconSize(QSize(56, 56));
    mainToolBar->setToolButtonStyle(Qt::ToolButtonTextUnderIcon);
    mainToolBar->setFont(font);

but the bar is still light-grey (default)

i solved the toolbar problem like this:

QToolBar#myToolBar > QWidget {
    background: blue;
}

QToolBar#myToolBar > QWidget {
    background: blue;
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

if i do this:

QToolBar#myToolBar {
    background: blue;
}

QToolBar#myToolBar {
    background: blue;
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

only the action buttons get colored.

i got some other problems with style though.
problem appears if I use my own class inherited from QWidget

class my_widget_class : public QWidget
{
Q_OBJECT
 
public:
    my_widget_class(QWidget* );
    QListView * listView;
    void mouseMoveEvent(QMouseEvent* pEvent);
 
};

class my_widget_class : public QWidget
{
Q_OBJECT
        
public:
    my_widget_class(QWidget* );
    QListView * listView;
    void mouseMoveEvent(QMouseEvent* pEvent);
     
};

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

implementation looks like this:

my_widget_class*    my_widget;
 
/* some ui code here */
 
my_widget = new my_widget_class (centralWidget);
my_widget->setObjectName("my_widget_00");
my_widget->setGeometry(QRect(100,100,100,200));

my_widget_class*    my_widget;

/* some ui code here */

my_widget = new my_widget_class (centralWidget);
my_widget->setObjectName("my_widget_00");
my_widget->setGeometry(QRect(100,100,100,200));

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

the style sheet is like this:

my_widget_classt#my_widget_00 {
     background-color: blue;
     border-style: outset;
     border-width: 2px;
     border-radius: 20px;
     border-color: red;
     font: bold 14px;
     min-width: 10em;
     padding: 6px;
}

my_widget_classt#my_widget_00 {
     background-color: blue;
     border-style: outset;
     border-width: 2px;
     border-radius: 20px;
     border-color: red;
     font: bold 14px;
     min-width: 10em;
     padding: 6px;
}

i also tried style with QWidget#my_widget

it works if i replace my_widget_class with QWidget in the code (like: "my_widget = new QWidget(centralWidget);" )
is this a normal behaviour? i think it should recognise my new class as QWidget...
i use the same method for my main window class, but this works fine.
