Styling ScrollBar of QWebView via Qt StyleSheets?

[chuckshaw]

I just replaced a QTextEdit that was used for displaying rudimentary html in my application with a QWebView. My problem is I am unable to style the scrollbar via the QScrollBar tag in my stylesheet. I know that i could technically use the css in the html document myself but thats not what i am looking for. Has anyone attempted to do the same thing?

Note: at the moment I am styling all QScrollBar's at the mainwindow level. So everything has the same look and feel. Except for the QWebView of course.

I am having the same issue here, before i was using QTextBrowser and now the actual WebKit (QWebView) for displaying HTML files of a Documentation module i am working on.

But, seems QWebView does not accept stylesheets...

Cheers.

Im asking the same question that was asked a yr back, Iam not able to style the QScrollBar component of QWebView, by just adding
QScrollBar:Vertical and QScrollBar::handle parameters.

Is this is a feature not supported, is there anyway to paint the QScrollBar component of QWebView.

For now you need to hack around it, you can easily change the width as documented here:

Note sure if other things besides the width can be easily changed.

Well, you CAN'T do this by Qt Style Sheets, the only way to customize QWebView scroll bars is to use CSS, since WebKit supports scrollbar customization.
See http://www.webkit.org/blog/363/styling-scrollbars/ for examples. This way worked well for me.
You even do not have to have separate image files, you can use base64 encoding in CSS, just like this:

background-image:url(data:image/png;base64,<base64 encoded png image>);

Of course, this works only for your custom web pages, for all others pages you can inject your CSS in theirs code.
