QTabBar tab color

[Oleg]

Hi, all.

I'm looking for an idea how to make QTabBar to have different color tabs. Qt's Style Sheet engine allows to specify styles for all/selected/first/last tabs, but not each one separately by index. Can anybody advise anything?

Thanks.

You could subclass QTabBar and write your own paint event. Have a look inside the sources how the original paint even looks like. Then just alter the for loop which is painting the tabs.

You can use QTabBar::setTabTextColor ( int index, const QColor & color ) to set different colors for tabs.

QTabBar::setTabTextColor ( int index, const QColor & color ) sets text color, not tab background color.

Is there a way to implement stylesheet handler plugin for my own widget to has its own stylesheet? I'd like to have something like

MyColorTabBar[tabIndex=1] {
    background-color: red;
}
MyColorTabBar[tabIndex=2] {
    background-color: green;
}

MyColorTabBar[tabIndex=1] {
    background-color: red;
}
MyColorTabBar[tabIndex=2] {
    background-color: green;
}
