[PyQt] Style sheet properties..

[Jebagnana Das]

Thanks for your quick reply.. Have a look at this minimal example.. In the
example i've applied stylesheet only for groupbox not to any of it's
components.. Since i've set the parent as groupbox for button,label and
combo box it also reflects the style sheet properties that is applied for
group box.. In the combo box after clicking when you hover a menu item it'll
not be visible since the focus is also in white color and it doesn't look
good (esp. in linux).. In button too all it's properties are lost including
click feel(in windows).. How can i prevent this.. Please help me..

from PyQt4 import QtCore, QtGui

class Ui_Dialog(object):

    def setupUi(self, Dialog):

        Dialog.setObjectName("Dialog")
        Dialog.resize(399, 309)
        Dialog.setWindowTitle(QtGui.QApplication.translate("Dialog",
"Dialog", None, QtGui.QApplication.UnicodeUTF8))

        self.groupBox = QtGui.QGroupBox(Dialog)
        self.groupBox.setGeometry(QtCore.QRect(10, 10, 381, 291))
        self.groupBox.setStyleSheet("background-color: rgb(255, 255,
255);\n"
                                    "border:1px solid rgb(255, 170, 255);")
        self.groupBox.setObjectName("groupBox")

        self.pushButton = QtGui.QPushButton(self.groupBox)
        self.pushButton.setGeometry(QtCore.QRect(110, 130, 92, 28))
        self.pushButton.setObjectName("pushButton")
        self.pushButton.setText(QtGui.QApplication.translate("Dialog",
"Click Me", None, QtGui.QApplication.UnicodeUTF8))

        self.label = QtGui.QLabel(self.groupBox)
        self.label.setGeometry(QtCore.QRect(50, 30, 81, 18))
        self.label.setObjectName("label")
        self.label.setText(QtGui.QApplication.translate("Dialog", "Name :",
None, QtGui.QApplication.UnicodeUTF8))

        self.lineEdit = QtGui.QLineEdit(self.groupBox)
        self.lineEdit.setGeometry(QtCore.QRect(140, 30, 191, 26))
        self.lineEdit.setObjectName("lineEdit")

        self.comboBox = QtGui.QComboBox(self.groupBox)
        self.comboBox.setGeometry(QtCore.QRect(140, 70, 85, 27))
        self.comboBox.setObjectName("comboBox")
        self.comboBox.addItem("")
        self.comboBox.addItem("")
        self.comboBox.addItem("")
        self.comboBox.addItem("")
        self.comboBox.addItem("")
        self.comboBox.setItemText(0, QtGui.QApplication.translate("Dialog",
"2", None, QtGui.QApplication.UnicodeUTF8))
        self.comboBox.setItemText(1, QtGui.QApplication.translate("Dialog",
"20", None, QtGui.QApplication.UnicodeUTF8))
        self.comboBox.setItemText(2, QtGui.QApplication.translate("Dialog",
"12", None, QtGui.QApplication.UnicodeUTF8))
        self.comboBox.setItemText(3, QtGui.QApplication.translate("Dialog",
"15", None, QtGui.QApplication.UnicodeUTF8))
        self.comboBox.setItemText(4, QtGui.QApplication.translate("Dialog",
"234", None, QtGui.QApplication.UnicodeUTF8))


        self.label_2 = QtGui.QLabel(self.groupBox)
        self.label_2.setGeometry(QtCore.QRect(50, 70, 81, 18))
        self.label_2.setObjectName("label_2")
        self.label_2.setText(QtGui.QApplication.translate("Test Dialog",
"Number :", None, QtGui.QApplication.UnicodeUTF8))

        QtCore.QMetaObject.connectSlotsByName(Dialog)


if __name__ == "__main__":
    import sys
    app = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)
    Dialog = QtGui.QDialog()
    ui = Ui_Dialog()
    ui.setupUi(Dialog)
    Dialog.show()
    sys.exit(app.exec_())

P.S: I've used qt designer for quick designing.. Even if i hand code it the
result will be the same..
