So basically you have a one pixel wide line and not a part of a frame which is usually at least two pixel wide (see QStyle::pixelMetric for PM_DefaultFrameWidth)Why don't you just use one of QPalette's Light, Midlight, Dark, Mid or Shadow values?

Re: Retrieve the colours used by Qt to render a frame of StyledPanel shape
Yes, a one-pixel wide line. I honestly can't remember of wide the frame was when I tried QStylePainter::drawPrimitive(). I just know that it worked for the full frame. Anyway, I did succesfully use QPalette's Light, Midlight, etc. values before, but none of them corresponds to the actual colour used by the theme to render a frame, hence my original message.Originally Posted by wysota

Re: Retrieve the colours used by Qt to render a frame of StyledPanel shape
My main point is that you can't get an OS agnostic consistent look (I don't think the theme draws such one pixel lines anywhere), so there is a question if it is worth trying at all.

I agree with your statement in general, but it happens that what I did looks good on Windows, Linux and Mac OS X, so...
Otherwise, the theme does draw one pixel lines (or frames rather). This is, in fact, the reason I decided to do the same for my derived widget.

On your Windows, your Linux, your MacOS X configurations.
If that's fine with you then ok just bear in mind people have different configurations of their systems and something that looks good on your system doesn't have to look good on mine.

Very true and this is why I am ready to revert things, if ever needed.
