Changing QProgressBar colour
Message 1 in thread
I am trying to make a custom progress bar (what inherits from
QProgressBar), I would like to be able to change the colour of the
progress bar fill colour. I have tried to change the colour using the
palette but to no avail. I have pasted some sample code below to show
what I have tried
Any advice would be great.
[ Sample Code ]
QColourProgressBar::QColourProgressBar(QWidget* pkParent)
: QProgressBar(pkParent)
{
QPalette pal = this->palette();
pal.setColor(QPalette::Highlight, QColor("blue"));
pal.setColor(QPalette::Foreground,
QColor("blue"));
pal.setColor(QPalette::Background, QColor("blue"));
pal.setColor(QPalette::Button, QColor("blue"));
this->setPalette(pal);
}

Though I haven't actually tried this for a progress bar, check out style
sheets:

Rob,
Thanks for the links. This gets what I was looking for, kind of seems to be a run around (having to use style sheet) but it gets the job done.

For what it's worth, a few times I've been playing with pallettes in Qt4 on various
widgets and haven't gotten them to work how I expected. For example, changing
background colors on QPushButtons seems to always not be intuitive to what I am
expecting when I sit down to think about it.
To help me, I typically open up Qt Designer, put the widget I'm interested in on the
screen, and then play with its palette via the properties in order to make it look
like what I want. Then I can transcribe the various color roles into the
application without having to go through the guess, compile, guess, compile, steps.

Caleb,
Thanks for the tip but when it comes to the QProgressBar chunk data, I
could never seem to get the designer application to reflect the colour
changes. I tried to change the colour programmatically to try to rule
out a bug in the designer but it looks like the palette just don't
change the chunk colour of the QProgressBar
