Second one is after I changed the color of the main widget.

[void juniper]

How are you changing the colour?

[hoary nest]

SetStyleSheet

[void juniper]

are you specifying the widget type you want to colour?

wdg = QtWidgets.QWidget()
wdg.setStyleSheet('background-color: red;')

[hoary nest]

self.app_widget.setStyleSheet("background-color: #303030;")

[void juniper]

if you do something like this, it will colour the widget and all of its children

[hoary nest]

Yeah i want it to

which it did

although it seems with a negative affect i want to avoid, (messing with the scrollbar)

[void juniper]

if you remove the stylesheet, the scrollbar changes back?

[hoary nest]

ya

[void juniper]

that's odd

are you using a dark theme plugin or something?

[hoary nest]

just default microsoft dark mode

does this sound right to you?

[void juniper]

Yes, default colours are set with palettes, not stylesheets

you can change the colour by setting the QPalette but you can't also use this with stylesheets

[hoary nest]

Yeah....

[void juniper]

I usually use qpalette for qwidget

because I don't really care about any other stylesheet edits on a qwidget

but something like buttons, I might want more control over hover/press or rounded corners, so I use css for that

[hoary nest]

yeah gotcha

[void juniper]

you need to make sure you use setAutoFillBackground to True on those widgets as well

unless it's your base widget, qwidget doesn't display its background through a palette

[hoary nest]

thats good to knw

know*

[hoary nest]

Thanks, problem resolved
