How to set button's color

[John-P]

Hi

I want to set the color of pushButton to transparent.
(button background color)
I tried using setColor() to change "QPalette::Button" .
But following build error occured.


" invalid conversion from 'QPalette*' to 'QRgb' "
"initializing argument 1 of 'QColor::QColor(QRgb)' "

How can I resolve this error.

palette = new QPalette();
palette->setColor(QPalette::Button , QColor(0,0,0,0) );
pushButton = new QPushButton(centralwidget);
pushButton->setPalette(QPalette(palette));
pushButton->setObjectName(QString::fromUtf8("pushButton"));
pushButton->setGeometry(80, 220, 140, 140);
pushButton->setIcon(QIcon(QPixmap("icon.png")));
pushButton->setIconSize(QSize(140 , 140));

palette = new QPalette();
palette->setColor(QPalette::Button , QColor(0,0,0,0) );
pushButton = new QPushButton(centralwidget);
pushButton->setPalette(QPalette(palette));
pushButton->setObjectName(QString::fromUtf8("pushButton"));
pushButton->setGeometry(80, 220, 140, 140);
pushButton->setIcon(QIcon(QPixmap("icon.png")));
pushButton->setIconSize(QSize(140 , 140));

Hi, QPalette takes a const reference, but you try to pass a pointer.
Use

pushButton->setPalette(*palette);

pushButton->setPalette(*palette);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

or first read the palette from the button, change it and then write it back (see QWidget:alette-prop). With this method you will preserve all the other palette settings of the button while your code uses a default QPalette with one adjusted value.
