    Qt Code:
    1. m.setStyleSheet("QMainWindow {background: 'yellow';}");
    2. m.show();
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

    Did you try subclassing QMainWindow's paintEvent?

    It can change the background color of QMainWindow,but it change the background color of Tool bar and status,too.

    What you want is to change the background of the centralWidget of the main window.
    Your biological and technological distinctiveness will be added to our own. Resistance is futile.
