How to make table headers with custom background?

As in the thread title. I'm using QTableWidget Class to represent data in table.

I would like these headers:

To look (for example) like this:

Is that possible? How to do it?

You can achieve it by using style sheet file.

Create a file and name it mystyle.qss
To get custom header :

Code:

---

QHeaderView::section {
	 border: 0.5px solid #C2C7CB;
	 padding-left: 4px;
	 background: qlineargradient(x1: 0, y1: 0, x2: 0, y2: 1,
                                 stop: 0 #59AAFC, 
                                 stop: 0.2 #C2C7CB, 
				 stop: 0.5 #DFDFDF, 
				 stop: 0.7 #C2C7CB, 
				 stop: 1.0 #287ACC );
}

---

Set up the style for your app in the main function:

Code:

---

int main ( int argc, char* argv[])
{
	QApplication app(argc,argv);
	QFile file(":/mystyle.qss");
        if (file.open(QFile::ReadOnly));
        QString styleSheet = QLatin1String(file.readAll());
	qApp->setStyleSheet(styleSheet);
 
        // other code
 
       return app.exec();
}

---

Create a resource file (myresource.qrc) and include your style file:

Code:

---

<RCC>
<qresource >
    <file>mystyle.qss</file>
</qresource>
</RCC>

---

And finally add myresource.qrc in the application *.pro file:

Code:

---

RESOURCES   = myresource.qrc

---

(In this example, the files created are relative to your app directory).
If you need to customize other widgets just add them to your qss file.

I encourage you to read about Qt resource and style sheet concepts.
