Qt Style Sheets Reference

 

Qt Style Sheets Reference

Qt Style Sheets support various properties, pseudo-states, and subcontrols that make it possible to customize the look of widgets.

 

List of Stylable Widgets

The following table lists the Qt widgets that can be customized using style sheets:

Widget How to Style
QAbstractScrollArea Supports the box model.

All derivatives of QAbstractScrollArea, including QTextEdit, and QAbstractItemView (all item view classes), support scrollable backgrounds using background-attachment. Setting the background-attachment to fixed provides a background-image that does not scroll with the viewport. Setting the background-attachment to scroll, scrolls the background-image when the scroll bars move.

See Customizing QAbstractScrollArea for an example.

QCheckBox Supports the box model. The check indicator can be styled using the ::indicator subcontrol. By default, the indicator is placed in the Top Left corner of the Contents rectangle of the widget.

The spacing property specifies the spacing between the check indicator and the text.

See Customizing QCheckBox for an example.

QColumnView The grip can be styled be using the image property. The arrow indicators can by styled using the ::left-arrow subcontrol and the ::right-arrow subcontrol.
QComboBox The frame around the combobox can be styled using the box model. The drop-down button can be styled using the ::drop-down subcontrol. By default, the drop-down button is placed in the top right corner of the padding rectangle of the widget. The arrow mark inside the drop-down button can be styled using the ::down-arrow subcontrol. By default, the arrow is placed in the center of the contents rectangle of the drop-down subcontrol.

See Customizing QComboBox for an example.

QDateEdit See QSpinBox.
QDateTimeEdit See QSpinBox.
QDialog Supports only the background, background-clip and background-origin properties.

Warning: Make sure you define the Q_OBJECT macro for your custom widget.

QDialogButtonBox The layout of buttons can be altered using the button-layout property.
QDockWidget Supports styling of the title bar and the title bar buttons when docked.

The dock widget border can be styled using the border property. The ::title subcontrol can be used to customize the title bar. The close and float buttons are positioned with respect to the ::title subcontrol using the ::close-button and ::float-button respectively.

When the title bar is vertical, the :vertical pseudo class is set. In addition, depending on QDockWidget::DockWidgetFeature, the :closable, :floatable and :movable pseudo states are set.

Note: Use QMainWindow::separator to style the resize handle.

Warning: The style sheet has no effect when the QDockWidget is undocked as Qt uses native top level windows when undocked.

See Customizing QDockWidget for an example.

QDoubleSpinBox See QSpinBox.
QFrame Supports the box model.

Since 4.3, setting a stylesheet on a QLabel automatically sets the QFrame::frameStyle property to QFrame::StyledPanel.

See Customizing QFrame for an example.

QGroupBox Supports the box model. The title can be styled using the ::title subcontrol. By default, the title is placed depending on QGroupBox::textAlignment.

In the case of a checkable QGroupBox, the title includes the check indicator. The indicator is styled using the ::indicator subcontrol. The spacing property can be used to control the spacing between the text and indicator.

See Customizing QGroupBox for an example.

QHeaderView Supports the box model. The sections of the header view are styled using the ::section sub control. The section Sub-control supports the :middle, :first, :last, :only-one, :next-selected, :previous-selected, :selected, and :checked pseudo states.

Sort indicator in can be styled using the ::up-arrow and the ::down-arrow Sub-control.

See Customizing QHeaderView for an example.

QLabel Supports the box model. Does not support the :hover pseudo-state.

Since 4.3, setting a stylesheet on a QLabel automatically sets the QFrame::frameStyle property to QFrame::StyledPanel.

See Customizing QFrame for an example (a QLabel derives from QFrame).

QLineEdit Support the box model.

The color and background of the selected item is styled using selection-color and selection-background-color respectively.

The password character can be styled using the lineedit-password-character property.

The password mask delay can be changed using the lineedit-password-mask-delay

See Customizing QLineEdit for an example.

QListView Supports the box model. When alternating row colors is enabled, the alternating colors can be styled using the alternate-background-color property.

The color and background of the selected item is styled using selection-color and selection-background-color respectively.

The selection behavior is controlled by the show-decoration-selected property.

Use the ::item subcontrol for more fine grained control over the items in the QListView.

See QAbsractScrollArea to style scrollable backgrounds.

See Customzing QListView for an example.

QListWidget See QListView.
QMainWindow Supports styling of the separator

The separator in a QMainWindow when using QDockWidget is styled using the ::separator subcontrol.

See Customizing QMainWindow for an example.

QMenu Supports the box model.

Individual items are styled using the ::item subcontrol. In addition to the usually supported pseudo states, item subcontrol supports the :selected, :default, :exclusive and the non-exclusive pseudo states.

The indicator of checkable menu items is styled using the ::indicator subcontrol.

The separator is styled using the ::separator subcontrol.

For items with a sub menu, the arrow marks are styled using the right-arrow and left-arrow.

The scroller is styled using the ::scroller.

The tear-off is styled using the ::tearoff.

See Customizing QMenu for an example.

QMenuBar Supports the box model. The spacing property specifies the spacing between menu items. Individual items are styled using the ::item subcontrol.

Warning: When running on Qt/Mac, the menu bar is usually embedded into the system-wide menu bar. In this case, the style sheet will have no effect.

See Customizing QMenuBar for an example.

QMessageBox The messagebox-text-interaction-flags property can be used to alter the interaction with text in the message box.
QProgressBar Supports the box model. The chunks of the progress bar can be styled using the ::chunk subcontrol. The chunk is displayed on the Contents rectangle of the widget.

If the progress bar displays text, use the text-align property to position the text.

Indeterminate progress bars have the :indeterminate pseudo state set.

See Customizing QProgressBar for an example.

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.

QRadioButton Supports the box model. The check indicator can be styled using the ::indicator subcontrol. By default, the indicator is placed in the Top Left corner of the Contents rectangle of the widget.

The spacing property specifies the spacing between the check indicator and the text.

See Customizing QRadioButton for an example.

QScrollBar Supports the box model. The Contents rectangle of the widget is considered to be the groove over which the slider moves. The extent of the QScrollBar (i.e the width or the height depending on the orientation) is set using the width or height property respectively. To determine the orientation, use the :horizontal and the :vertical pseudo states.

The slider can be styled using the ::handle subcontrol. Setting the min-width or min-height provides size contraints for the slider depending on the orientation.

The ::add-line subcontrol can be used to style the button to add a line. By default, the add-line subcontrol is placed in top right corner of the Border rectangle of the widget. Depending on the orientation the ::right-arrow or ::down-arrow. By default, the arrows are placed in the center of the Contents rectangle of the add-line subcontrol.

The ::sub-line subcontrol can be used to style the button to subtract a line. By default, the sub-line subcontrol is placed in bottom right corner of the Border rectangle of the widget. Depending on the orientation the ::left-arrow or ::up-arrow. By default, the arrows are placed in the center of the Contents rectangle of the sub-line subcontrol.

The ::sub-page subcontrol can be used to style the region of the slider that subtracts a page. The ::add-page subcontrol can be used to style the region of the slider that adds a page.

See Customizing QScrollBar for an example.

QSizeGrip Supports the width, height, and image properties.

See Customizing QSizeGrip for an example.

QSlider Supports the box model. For horizontal slides, the min-width and height properties must be provided. For vertical sliders, the min-height and width properties must be provided.

The groove of the slider is styled using the ::groove. The groove is positioned by default in the Contents rectangle of the widget. The thumb of the slider is styled using ::handle subcontrol. The subcontrol moves in the Contents rectangle of the groove subcontrol.

See Customizing QSlider for an example.

QSpinBox The frame of the spin box can be styled using the box model.

The up button and arrow can be styled using the ::up-button and ::up-arrow subcontrols. By default, the up-button is placed in the top right corner in the Padding rectangle of the widget. Without an explicit size, it occupies half the height of its reference rectangle. The up-arrow is placed in the center of the Contents rectangle of the up-button.

The down button and arrow can be styled using the ::down-button and ::down-arrow subcontrols. By default, the down-button is placed in the bottom right corner in the Padding rectangle of the widget. Without an explicit size, it occupies half the height of its reference rectangle. The bottom-arrow is placed in the center of the Contents rectangle of the bottom-button.

See Customizing QSpinBox for an example.

QSplitter Supports the box model. The handle of the splitter is styled using the ::handle subcontrol.

See Customizing QSplitter for an example.

QStatusBar Supports only the background property. The frame for individual items can be style using the ::item subcontrol.

See Customizing QStatusBar for an example.

QTabBar Individual tabs may be styled using the ::tab subcontrol. Close buttons using the ::close-button The tabs support the :only-one, :first, :last, :middle, :previous--selected, :next-selected, :selected pseudo states.

The :top, :left, :right, :bottom pseudo states depending on the orientation of the tabs.

Overlapping tabs for the selected state are created by using negative margins or using the absolute position scheme.

The tear indicator of the QTabBar is styled using the ::tear subcontrol.

QTabBar used two QToolButtons for its scrollers that can be styled using the QTabBar QToolButton selector. To specify the width of the scroll button use the ::scroller subcontrol.

The alignment of the tabs within the QTabBar is styled using the alignment property.

Warning:

To change the position of the QTabBar within a QTabWidget, use the tab-bar subcontrol (and set subcontrol-position).

See Customizing QTabBar for an example.

QTabWidget The frame of the tab widget is styled using the ::pane subcontrol. The left and right corners are styled using the ::left-corner and ::right-corner respectively. The position of the tab bar is controlled using the ::tab-bar subcontrol.

By default, the subcontrols have positions of a QTabWidget in the QWindowsStyle. To place the QTabBar in the center, set the subcontrol-position of the tab-bar subcontrol.

The :top, :left, :right, :bottom pseudo states depending on the orientation of the tabs.

See Customizing QTabWidget for an example.

QTableView Supports the box model. When alternating row colors is enabled, the alternating colors can be styled using the alternate-background-color property.

The color and background of the selected item is styled using selection-color and selection-background-color respectively.

The corner widget in a QTableView is implemented as a QAbstractButton and can be styled using the "QTableView QTableCornerButton::section" selector.

Warning: If you only set a background-color on a QTableCornerButton, the background may not appear unless you set the border property to some value. This is because, by default, the QTableCornerButton draws a native border which completely overlaps the background-color.

The color of the grid can be specified using the gridline-color property.

See QAbsractScrollArea to style scrollable backgrounds.

See Customzing QTableView for an example.

QTableWidget See QTableView.
QTextEdit Supports the box model.

The color and background of selected text is styled using selection-color and selection-background-color respectively.

See QAbsractScrollArea to style scrollable backgrounds.

QTimeEdit See QSpinBox.
QToolBar Supports the box model.

The :top, :left, :right, :bottom pseudo states depending on the area in which the tool bar is grouped.

The :first, :last, :middle, :only-one pseudo states indicator the position of the tool bar within a line group (See QStyleOptionToolBar::positionWithinLine).

The separator of a QToolBar is styled using the ::separator subcontrol.

The handle (to move the toolbar) is styled using the ::handle subcontrol.

See Customizing QToolBar for an example.

QToolButton Supports the box model.

If the QToolButton has a menu, is ::menu-indicator subcontrol can be used to style the indicator. By default, the menu-indicator is positioned at the bottom right of the Padding rectangle of the widget.

If the QToolButton is in QToolButton::MenuButtonPopup mode, the ::menu-button subcontrol is used to draw the menu button. ::menu-arrow subcontrol is used to draw the menu arrow inside the menu-button. By default, it is positioned in the center of the Contents rectangle of the menu-button subcontrol.

When the QToolButton displays arrows, the ::up-arrow, ::down-arrow, ::left-arrow and ::right-arrow subcontrols are used.

Warning: If you only set a background-color on a QToolButton, the background will not appear unless you set the border property to some value. This is because, by default, the QToolButton draws a native border which completely overlaps the background-color. For example,

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

See Customizing QToolButton for an example.

QToolBox Supports the box model.

The individual tabs can by styled using the ::tab subcontrol. The tabs support the :only-one, :first, :last, :middle, :previous-selected, :next-selected, :selected pseudo states.

QToolTip Supports the box model. The opacity property controls the opacity of the tooltip.

See Customizing QFrame for an example (a QToolTip is a QFrame).

QTreeView Supports the box model. When alternating row colors is enabled, the alternating colors can be styled using the alternate-background-color property.

The color and background of the selected item is styled using selection-color and selection-background-color respectively.

The selection behavior is controlled by the show-decoration-selected property.

The branches of the tree view can be styled using the ::branch subcontrol. The ::branch Sub-control supports the :open, :closed, :has-sibling and :has-children pseudo states.

Use the ::item subcontrol for more fine grained control over the items in the QTreeView.

See QAbsractScrollArea to style scrollable backgrounds.

See Customizing QTreeView for an example to style the branches.

QTreeWidget See QTreeView.
QWidget Supports only the background, background-clip and background-origin properties.

If you subclass from QWidget, you need to provide a paintEvent for your custom QWidget as below:

void CustomWidget::paintEvent(QPaintEvent *)
{
    QStyleOption opt;
    opt.init(this);
    QPainter p(this);
    style()->drawPrimitive(QStyle::PE_Widget, &opt, &p, this);
}

The above code is a no-operation if there is no stylesheet set.

Warning: Make sure you define the Q_OBJECT macro for your custom widget.

 

 

List of Properties

The table below lists all the properties supported by Qt Style Sheets. Which values can be given to an property depend on the property's type. Unless otherwise specified, properties below apply to all widgets. Properties marked with an asterisk * are specific to Qt and have no equivalent in CSS2 or CSS3.

Property Type Description
alternate-background-color Brush
The alternate background color used in QAbstractItemView subclasses.

If this property is not set, the default value is whatever is set for the palette's AlternateBase role.

Example:

QTreeView {
    alternate-background-color: blue;
    background: yellow;
}

See also background and selection-background-color.

Often, it is required to set a fill pattern similar to the styles in Qt::BrushStyle. You can use the background-color property for Qt::SolidPattern, Qt::RadialGradientPattern, Qt::LinearGradientPattern and Qt::ConicalGradientPattern. The other patterns are easily achieved by creating a background image that contains the pattern.

Example:

QLabel {
    background-image: url(dense6pattern.png);
    background-repeat: repeat-xy;
}

See also background-origin, selection-background-color, background-clip, background-attachment and alternate-background-color.

border-bottom-width Length The width of the border's bottom edge.
border-left-width Length The width of the border's left edge.
bottom Length If position is relative (the default), moves a subcontrol by a certain offset up; specifying bottom: y is then equivalent to specifying top: -y.

If position is absolute, the bottom property specifies the subcontrol's bottom edge in relation to the parent's bottom edge (see also subcontrol-origin).

Example:

QSpinBox::down-button { bottom: 2px }

See also left, right, and top.

button-layout Number The layout of buttons in a QDialogButtonBox or a QMessageBox. The possible values are 0 (WinLayout), 1 (MacLayout), 2 (KdeLayout), and 3 (GnomeLayout).

If this property is not specified, it defaults to the value specified by the current style for the SH_DialogButtonLayout style hint.

Example:

* { button-layout: 2 }
color Brush

This property is supported by all widgets that respect the QWidget::palette.

If this property is not set, the default is whatever is set for in the widget's palette for the QWidget::foregroundRole (typically black).

Example:

QPushButton { color: red }

See also background and selection-color.

dialogbuttonbox-buttons-have-icons Boolean Whether the buttons in a QDialogButtonBox show icons

If this property is set to 1, the buttons of a QDialogButtonBox show icons; if it is set to 0, the icons are not shown.

See the List of Icons section for information on how to set icons.

QDialogButtonBox { dialogbuttonbox-buttons-have-icons: 1; }

Note: Styles defining this property must be applied before the QDialogButtonBox is created; this means that you must apply the style to the parent widget or to the application itself.

font Font Shorthand notation for setting the text's font. Equivalent to specifying font-family, font-size, font-style, and/or font-weight.

This property is supported by all widgets that respect the QWidget::font.

If this property is not set, the default is the QWidget::font.

Example:

QCheckBox { font: bold italic large "Times New Roman" }
font-family String The font family.

Example:

QCheckBox { font-family: "New Century Schoolbook" }
font-size Font Size The font size. In this version of Qt, only pt and px metrics are supported.

If this property is not specified, it defaults to the value specified by the current style for the SH_Table_GridLineColor style hint.

Example:

* { gridline-color: gray }
height Length The height of a subcontrol (or in some case, a widget).

If this property is not specified, it defaults to a value that depends on the subcontrol/widget and on the current style.

Warning: Unless otherwise specified, this property has no effect when set on widgets. If you want a widget with a fixed height, set the min-height and max-height to the same value.

Example:

QSpinBox::down-button { height: 10px }

See also width.

icon-size Length The width and height of the icon in a widget.

The icon size of the following widgets can be set using this property.

image* Url+ The image that is drawn in the contents rectangle of a subcontrol.

The image property accepts a list of Urls or an svg. The actual image that is drawn is determined using the same algorithm as QIcon (i.e) the image is never scaled up but always scaled down if necessary. If a svg is specified, the image is scaled to the size of the contents rectangle.

Setting the image property on sub controls implicitly sets the width and height of the sub-control (unless the image in a SVG).

In Qt 4.3 and later, the alignment of the image within the rectangle can be specified using image-position.

This property is for subcontrols only--we don't support it for other elements.

Warning: The QIcon SVG plugin is needed to render SVG images.

Example:

/* implicitly sets the size of down-button to the size of spindown.png */
QSpinBox::down-button { image: url(:/images/spindown.png) }
image-position alignment In Qt 4.3 and later, the alignment of the image image's position can be specified using relative or absolute position.
left Length If position is relative (the default), moves a subcontrol by a certain offset to the right.

If position is absolute, the left property specifies the subcontrol's left edge in relation to the parent's left edge (see also subcontrol-origin).

If this property is not specified, it defaults to 0.

Example:

QSpinBox::down-button { left: 2px }

See also right, top, and bottom.

lineedit-password-character* Number The QLineEdit password character as a Unicode number.

If this property is not specified, it defaults to the value specified by the current style for the SH_LineEdit_PasswordCharacter style hint.

Example:

* { lineedit-password-character: 9679 }
lineedit-password-mask-delay* Number The QLineEdit password mask delay in milliseconds before lineedit-password-character is applied to visible character.

If this property is not specified, it defaults to the value specified by the current style for the SH_LineEdit_PasswordMaskDelay style hint.

This property was added in Qt 5.4.

Example:

* { lineedit-password-mask-delay: 1000 }
margin Box Lengths The widget's margins. Equivalent to specifying margin-top, margin-right, margin-bottom, and margin-left.

This property is supported by QAbstractItemView subclasses, QAbstractSpinBox subclasses, QCheckBox, QComboBox, QFrame, QGroupBox, QLabel, QLineEdit, QMenu, QMenuBar, QPushButton, QRadioButton, QSplitter, QTextEdit, and QToolTip.

If this property is not specified, it defaults to 0.

If the left color is not specified, it is taken to be the same as the right color. If the bottom color is not specified, it is taken to be the same as the top color. If the right color is not specified, it is taken to be the same as the top color.

Example:

QLabel { border-color: red }   /* red red red red */

QLabel { border-color: rgba(255, 0, 0, 75%) }   /* 75% opaque red */
QLabel { border-color: rgb(255, 0, 0) }         /* opaque red */
QLabel { border-color: rgb(100%, 0%, 0%) }      /* opaque red */
QLabel { border-color: hsv(60, 255, 255) }      /* opaque yellow */
QLabel { border-color: hsva(240, 255, 255, 75%) }      /* 75% blue */

Note: The RGB colors allowed are the same as those allowed with CSS 2.1, as listed here.

Font (Font Style | Font Weight){0,2} Font Size String Shorthand font property.
Font Size Length The size of a font.
Font Style normal
| italic
| oblique
The style of a font.
Font Weight normal
| bold
| 100
| 200
...
| 900
The weight of a font.
Gradient qlineargradient
| qradialgradient
| qconicalgradient
Specifies gradient fills. There are three types of gradient fills:
  • Linear gradients interpolate colors between start and end points.
  • Radial gradients interpolate colors between a focal point and end points on a circle surrounding it.
  • Conical gradients interpolate colors around a center point.

Gradients are specified in Object Bounding Mode. Imagine the box in which the gradient is rendered, to have its top left corner at (0, 0) and its bottom right corner at (1, 1). Gradient parameters are then specified as percentages from 0 to 1. These values are extrapolated to actual box coordinates at runtime. It is possible specify values that lie outside the bounding box (-0.6 or 1.8, for instance).

Warning: The stops have to appear sorted in ascending order.

Examples:

/* linear gradient from white to green */
QTextEdit {
    background: qlineargradient(x1:0, y1:0, x2:1, y2:1,
                stop:0 white, stop: 0.4 gray, stop:1 green)
}

/* linear gradient from white to green */
QTextEdit {
    background: qlineargradient(x1:0, y1:0, x2:1, y2:1,
                stop:0 white, stop: 0.4 rgba(10, 20, 30, 40), stop:1 rgb(0, 200, 230, 200))
}

/* conical gradient from white to green */
QTextEdit {
    background: qconicalgradient(cx:0.5, cy:0.5, angle:30,
                stop:0 white, stop:1 #00FF00)
}

/* radial gradient from white to green */
QTextEdit {
    background: qradialgradient(cx:0, cy:0, radius: 1,
                fx:0.5, fy:0.5, stop:0 white, stop:1 green)
}
Icon (Url (disabled | active | normal | selected)? (on | off)? )* A list of url, QIcon::Mode and QIcon::State.

Example:

* {
    file-icon: url(file.png),
               url(file_selected.png) selected;
  }

QMessageBox {
    dialogbuttonbox-buttons-have-icons: true;
    dialog-ok-icon: url(ok.svg);
    dialog-cancel-icon: url(cancel.png), url(grayed_cancel.png) disabled;
}
Length Number (px | pt | em | ex)? A number followed by a measurement unit. The CSS standard recommends that user agents must ignore a declaration with an illegal value. In Qt, it is mandatory to specify measurement units. For compatibility with earlier versions of Qt, numbers without measurement units are treated as pixels in most contexts. The supported units are:
  • px: pixels
  • pt: the size of one point (i.e., 1/72 of an inch)
  • em: the em width of the font (i.e., the width of 'M')
  • ex: the ex width of the font (i.e., the height of 'x')

However, Qt is limited to font sizes in pt and px and any other size must be in px, em or ex.

Number A decimal integer or a real number Examples: 0, 18, +127, -255, 12.34, -.5, 0009.
Origin margin
| border
| padding
| content
Indicates which of four rectangles to use.
  • margin: The margin rectangle. The margin falls outside the border.
  • border: The border rectangle. This is where any border is drawn.
  • padding: The padding rectangle. Unlike the margins, padding is located inside the border.
  • content: The content rectangle. This specifies where the actual contents go, excluding any padding, border, or margin.

See also The Box Model.

PaletteRole alternate-base
| base
| bright-text
| button
| button-text
| dark
| highlight
| highlighted-text
| light
| link
| link-visited
| mid
| midlight
| shadow
| text
| window
| window-text
These values correspond the Color roles in the widget's QPalette.

For example,

QPushButton { color: palette(dark); }
Radius Length{1, 2} One or two occurrences of Length. If only one length is specified, it is used as the radius of the quarter circle defining the corner. If two lengths are specified, the first length is the horizontal radius of a quarter ellipse, whereas the second length is the vertical radius.
Repeat repeat-x
| repeat-y
| repeat
| no-repeat
A value indicating the nature of repetition.
  • repeat-x: Repeat horizontally.
  • repeat-y: Repeat vertically.
  • repeat: Repeat horizontally and vertically.
  • no-repeat: Don't repeat.
Url url(filename) filename is the name of a file on the local disk or stored using the Qt Resource System. Setting an image implicitly sets the width and height of the element.
