You might be running into this (from the Qt Style Sheets Reference):

QPushButton
Supports the box model. Supports the :default, :flat, :checked pseudo states.
For QPushButton with a menu, the menu indicator is styled using the ::menu-indicator subcontrol. Appearance of checkable push buttons can be customized using the : open and : closed pseudo-states.
Warning: If you only set a background-color on a QPushButton, the background may not appear unless you set the border property to some value. This is because, by default, the QPushButton draws a native border which completely overlaps the background-color. For example,

QPushButton { background-color: red; border: none; }

See Customizing QPushButton for an example.

So try setting the border as well.

My problem was I had no clue on how to set up style sheets. In the help I stumbled across "Qt Style Sheets Reference" which told me the syntax I needed and what it did, like "border-radius" to round the corners. I didn't know that border-radius existed or what it did. I didn't know what to call anything so that I could set it. I found it there. It's a great reference, you just have to find it. I didn't think finding it was all that easy.

BTW, you have to scroll down the page some to get to the list of properties
