    Default Change background color of QPushButton

    Hi all,
    I can change the text color of a QPushButton object using the QPalette::ButtonText attribute but I don't know how to change the background color of that button?
    I tried the QPalette::Button, QPalette::Background,... but nothing changes.
    Help me!
    Thanks very much!

    QPalette::Button should have worked. You must have missed something while trying it. If it doesn't, maybe your QStyle doesn't allow changing the background colour of a button (I guess WindowsXP style can do such a thing).

    Well it works fine for me....on WinXP and SuSE 9/10

    here's my snippet

    Qt Code:
    1. QPalette pal=palette(); //get button palette
    2. pal.setBrush(QPalette::Button,Qt::black); //makes my button black
    3. pal.setBrush(QPalette::ButtonText, Qt::white);
    4. mybutton.setPalette(pal);
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    I presume you are doing the same...I am just confirming it's working!

    I am using the exact same piece of code as mentioned. But only my text colour is changing to black. My button colour does not change. I am using Qt Creator 2.8.1 Based on Qt 5.1.1. Any suggestions ?

    1. QPalette pal=palette(); //get button palette
    2. pal.setBrush(QPalette::Button,Qt::black); //makes my button black
    3. pal.setBrush(QPalette::ButtonText, Qt::white);
    4. mybutton.setPalette(pal);
