QMdiArea and styleSheet

**Raccoon29** · 27th November 2008, 18:11

Hi all,

I searched for it in whole Internet, but I have still that humorous Qt 4 library voice that keeps telling me: "There is no way! There is no way!"
So I look for light here

It seems that stylesheets don't handle QMdiArea style yet... sad.
And it can't handle QMdiSubWindow too. Have you ever tried? It's frustrating.
Is there a way to stylize a QMdiArea? Even without the CSS (but it would be better)?

I depend on your illuminating ideas,
greetings

There are a couple of pending suggestions:

Are they correct?

It seems that the task-tracker URL had changed a little bit. It's fixed now thanks to Jacek.

Oh yes, now it's ok

...but it seems that there is no solution at the moment... sad

We'll wait for that "some future release" (I fear that it is going to take a looong time...)

In the task tracker those are posted as "suggestions", but I would talk of them as bugs...
Have you ever tried to apply a style to the application like:

Qt Code:

Switch view

QWidget {
	background-color: rgb(128,128,30);
	color: white;
	font-size: 12px;
	font-weight: bold;
}

QWidget {
	background-color: rgb(128,128,30);
	color: white;
	font-size: 12px;
	font-weight: bold;
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

when is implemented a MDI system?
I did and the result is a colorfull application, that has QMdiArea ever gray, everything else olive and (here is the point) the QMdiSubWindow s background transparent! That is you can overlap two windows and you can see both of them... maybe a CSS style could fix, but Qt CSS doesn't support QMdiArea (and "children") style...

What do you think about that?
