QPushButton when disabled becomes grayed out

I solved it using stylesheet. When I disable button I repeat this command: button->setStyleSheet("background-image: url(path_to_image);");

Aside from the mechanics of how you get this to work, why would you want to show a button as enabled when it isn't? There's a reason why there are various states for UI controls (enabled, disabled, selected, etc.) - it is to give users a visual clue about what they can (or can't) do at a given point, or what will happen by default (the selected button will be "clicked" if you press Enter on a dialog).

Why would you want to implement a GUI that is deliberately confusing to users? I can see someone repeatedly clicking on this button, and getting angrier each time because nothing happens.

Because I'm using my own icon to show that button is disabled. I only need to put big X on top of my button and that will indicate it is disabled (I'm making a game)

OK, that makes sense. As long as you show the user somehow that "You can't press this button now", then that is consistent with what the user expects.
