    Default Change background color of Qcustomplot

    The normal color is white. I can change the color in creator via a stylesheet change. I want to change it to yellow if data stops coming into the plot and back to white when data is coming into the plot

    but when I compile and run that color is not on the plot.

    I've tried the palette method and the stylesheet method in code via a button push. The color will not change. Since I promoted a QWidget to qcustomplot does my syntax have to include those items. This one has me frustrated.

    Thanks for any help

    I use:

    Qt Code:
    1. m_CustomPlot->setBackground(QBrush(QColor("#b3daff")));
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    in C++. See if it works for you.

    I tried it, it compiles but when running the color does not change. Are there some settings that lock the widgets defaults or something?

    You *may* have to do a
    Qt Code:
    1. ->replot
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 
    to make it work.

    Can we see your code?
