QPushButton color and background

[satanowicz]

What's the simplest way to change a button fonts color & background?
I've tried style sheets and came up with something like this (but it doesn't work)

QPushButton *friends = new QPushButton("Friends", imageLabel);
	friends->setFlat(true); 
	QObject::connect(friends, SIGNAL(clicked()),
		this, SLOT(updateHitPoints()));
	friends-> move(180,270);
 
	friends->setStyleSheet("background-color: yellow");

QPushButton *friends = new QPushButton("Friends", imageLabel);
	friends->setFlat(true); 
	QObject::connect(friends, SIGNAL(clicked()),
		this, SLOT(updateHitPoints()));
	friends-> move(180,270);

	friends->setStyleSheet("background-color: yellow");

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

the button has yellow bacground only when it is pressed
is it because the

friends->setFlat(true);

friends->setFlat(true);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

?
if yes- can i have a "flat" button with yellow background?

To quote the documentation:

If this property is set, most styles will not paint the button background unless the button is being pressed.

So yes, when you use setFlat, it doesn't work the way you want.

Try using QPushButton:flat in your stylesheet, and set the background in there.

However, why do you even want to use setFlat (why did Nokia even include it?). You can get something completely similar using a stylesheet.
