QMenu and setStyleSheet

[BobTheProg]

I have a QMenu (myMenu) and I want to use setStyleSheet to set
-- background to yellow
-- menu item text to red when hovered over.

I have tried zillions of alternatives, including

myMenu.setStyleSheet("* {background-color : yellow } *:hover {color : red }");

myMenu.setStyleSheet("* {background-color : yellow } *:hover {color : red }");

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

I cannot seem to get the right syntax for this. Any help would be gratefully received.
