stylesheet not changing on Symbian^3 device

**Ceaser88** · 28th July 2011, 15:51

I am developing an application for symbian^3. I am having trouble with setting the stylesheet on the device. When testing it on the desktop and emulator i can see all changes in stylesheet that i make. When testing on the device (i am using an N8) the font takes no changes in color and the QTableWidget that i'm using always takes a black background even though i am setting to white.

has anyone had similar problems before? anyone have a fix? is there a different way to do it than with stylesheet?

i'm trying something else. i created a new blank mobile application project. i inserted a QWidget, QFrame, QListWidget, QStackedWidget, QTabWidget, and QTableWidget.
All are showing with a black background(i'm assuming that's the default style of the N8 i'm testing it on). how can change this black background to one defined by me?

To anyone interested in some solution:
After some experimentation i found that QWidgets were quite easy to manipulate and would take any stylesheet changes as opposed to mainwindow which was sticking to black. So i just copied my main interface into a QWidget class whiose style i have changed and when mainwindow launches it just redirects to it without any further use.
