QTableview with flat header

[mqt]

I want to create a table with minimum space use. When I reduce the row size to minimum, the text in headers are not visible clearly as it has 3D shading. Other cells are fine with this row height as they are flat. Is there a way to make the Headers of the table Flat? After making headers FLAT, I Also need to change the header background to a different color. Advanced thanks for sample code for both

How about using styles? Applying any custom style to a widget immediately kills all the default visual effects. So doing something like this:

myTableWidget.setStyle("QHeaderView::section { border: 1px solid black}")

myTableWidget.setStyle("QHeaderView::section { border: 1px solid black}")

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

will give you tiny flat header. More info here

setStyle helped. But still the header view looks slightly different than other cells. Is there a way to exactly replicate the style of Other cells to header?

Ah, so you are aiming for a maximum resemblance with the other cells. Then maybe try this style:

QHeaderView::section {
border-top: 0px solid grey;
border-bottom: 1px solid grey;
border-right: 1px solid grey;
background:white;}

QHeaderView::section {
border-top: 0px solid grey;
border-bottom: 1px solid grey;
border-right: 1px solid grey;
background:white;}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

You can experiment with styles in QtDesigner, by the way.
