And my guess is, that the default value is not OS specific, but Qt Stylesheet specific - that means, that the text default is not bold, and it was set implicitly by the fact you set a style sheet.
But that is only a guess.
That makes sense. Thanks for your answer.

In case someone else experience this problem: the only way to have a QMessageBox that preserves the native look and feel, is by NOT applying the stylesheet to qApp (because it has a cascade effect on all windows) and make the parent of QMessageBox NULL (to avoid any cascading effect from a parent widget that has stylesheets).
