How to input text working css properties?

A Qt style sheet is not CSS although it has many similarities. Text in a different colour is trivial and you probably want to tweak the selection highlight colour also:

Qt Code:

Switch view

#include <QtGui>
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
    QApplication app(argc, argv);
    QLineEdit l;
    l.setStyleSheet(
        "QLineEdit { "
        "color: red; background-color: white; "
        "selection-color: white; selection-background-color: red; }" );
    l.show();
    return app.exec();
}

#include <QtGui>
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
    QApplication app(argc, argv);
    QLineEdit l;
    l.setStyleSheet(
        "QLineEdit { "
        "color: red; background-color: white; "
        "selection-color: white; selection-background-color: red; }" );
    l.show();
    return app.exec();
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

As far as I can see Qt Style Sheets do not have any equivalent of the CSS3 text-shadow property.
