Dear group,

I'm using Qt for an open source project of mine (dlRaw).
Wonderful library, really.

I'm now stuck on something where the manuals and google are not able to help me.

I want to style a QComboBox and following small stylesheet snippet is giving me trouble :

QComboBox {
background-color : blue;
color : red;
}

I would assume that this puts the background of the combobox in blue and the 'arrow' and 'text' in red. On my 4.5.2 Qt (in Ubuntu 9.10) this is effectively what happens.

On my newer Ubuntu, featuring 4.7.0 the 'text' doesn't change color.
So I downloaded 4.7.1 (one never knows it is a bug ..) and also there the 'text' does not change color.

Has there been changes between 4.5.2 and now that require me to style the QComboBox in a different way ? I seem to be able to change nearly every aspect of the combobox, except for that text ... (which is of course in an impossible colour for my current theme ....

All help is much appreciated.

Jos
