Qt5 - setting background color to QPushButton and QCheckBox

Question

I\'m trying to change the background color of a QAbstractButton (either a QPushButton or QCheckBox) in Qt5 and having zero luck.

This does nothing:

p         


        

Answer 1

I had the same issue, but finally got this to work. I'm using Qt 5 with the Fusion color theme:

QPalette pal = button->palette();
pal.setColor(QPalette::Button, QColor(Qt::blue));
button->setAutoFillBackground(true);
button->setPalette(pal);
button->update();

Try these commands in the exact order as above, and if that still doesn't work, set your theme to Fusion and try again.

Good luck!
