could not change QProgressBar color

[dpn]

Hi,

I tried with below code snippet to change the color to green on progressbar.

QProgressBar *progressbar = new QProgressBar();
QPalette p = progressbar->palette();
p.setColor(QPalette::Highlight, QColor(Qt::green));
progressbar->setPalette(p);

It's always showing defualt blue color only. What could be the issue.

Thanks.

Hey,
instead of QColor(Qt::green) do something like Qt::blue

QPalette pal = progress->palette();
pal.setColor(progress->backgroundRole(), Qt::blue);
progress->setPalette(pal);

QPalette pal = progress->palette();
pal.setColor(progress->backgroundRole(), Qt::blue);
progress->setPalette(pal);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

you can also try setting a new style sheet
like

progress->setStyleSheet("*{ background-color: rgb(45, 50, 30); }");

progress->setStyleSheet("*{ background-color: rgb(45, 50, 30); }");

Hi toufic.dbouk,

I tried with suggested ways. It's showing default color only.

Thanks.

Hi dpn,

QProgressBar *progressbar = new QProgressBar();
QPalette p = progressbar->palette();
p.setColor(progressbar->backgroundRole(), QColor(Qt::green));
progressbar->setPalette(p);
progressbar->show();

QProgressBar *progressbar = new QProgressBar();
QPalette p = progressbar->palette();
p.setColor(progressbar->backgroundRole(), QColor(Qt::green));
progressbar->setPalette(p);
progressbar->show();

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

this should work,

QProgressBar *prog = new QProgressBar;
    QPalette pal = prog->palette();
    pal.setColor(prog->backgroundRole(), Qt::green);
    prog->setPalette(pal);
    prog->show();

QProgressBar *prog = new QProgressBar;
    QPalette pal = prog->palette();
    pal.setColor(prog->backgroundRole(), Qt::green);
    prog->setPalette(pal);
    prog->show();

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

this should also work,

you dont show in your code how you are showing the progress bar
show more code snippets if you need any further help.

It's always showing defualt blue color only.

If you're on Windows then you can't change the bar color.

true, but the background color can be changed if that would make it any better.
