modification to pictureflow widget

[qtnewbi3]

hey,
im trying to modify the pictureflow widget such that the slides to the left and right of the center slide are moved to a position a little higher than the center slide. I tried modifying the various offset values but i could only get them to change in size and spacing , i basically want the shape to look like the letter V or U . I wont have more than 3-4 images so spacing wont be a problem

Ok.. i was able to figure this out to what i needed, but now I have a different question how can i make the background a gradient instead of a solid color i thought i could do it easily with stylesheets,but i cant figure it out. It is basically set up as PictureFlow is a custom widget based off of QWidget and the broswer is class of PictureFlow so I need to change it for browser, how do i set up the stylesheet for this sort of a thing...
