So far I've made my way in the world of Qt by looking at examples and using the excellent docs. I've managed to make all the stuff work, but it doesn't have a wholesome look & feel.

Part of the application is text overlayed on video, and to make that readable in all conditions I wanted white text with a black outline/glow/shadow. Since I didn't find a font-ish way to solve this, I ended up creating a widget where I paint 3 QLabels on top of each other (one white, and two black ones that are slightly offset). This works, but makes it hard getting other widgets with text to look similar. I also use QMessageBox, QMenu and QPushButton, and would like to make the text look similar there.

Anything I have overlooked that can give me text in all widgets with the look I want? Or must I create my own QStyle or maybe override some central function to paint all text this way?
