Qt Stylesheets: How to apply style to menus? How to remove blue tinge around QTextEdit?

Question

I am trying to make the menubar a gradient black colour and that works fine, except for the menu headings.

Here's the stylesheet i'm using:

 QString styleSheet = "QMenuBar{background: qlineargradient(x1:0,x2:0,y1:0,y2:1,stop:0 #cccccc, stop:0.4 gray)} QStatusBar{background: qlineargradient(x1:0,x2:0,y1:0,y2:1,stop:0 #cccccc, stop:0.4 gray);color:white;} ";

this->setStyleSheet(styleSheet);

1. How do I apply the style to the meny headings too?
2. There is a blue tinge all around the QTextEdit which I can't get rid of. Is there a way to set it to black?

Thanks :)

Answer 1

I believe that the following website is a good resource for answering your question about the QT menubar issue you are having:

http://www.trinitydesktop.org/docs/qt4/stylesheet-examples.html#customizing-qmenubar

It gives a few code samples which should fully explain what you need to know. As for the blue tinge, I do not have a good idea on how to fix it - I haven't really seen that happen.

Best of luck.

This solved the problem for me:

QMenuBar::item {
    background-color: transparent;
}
