change disabled background color QCheckbox?

[pauledd]

Hi

Is it possible to change the standard gray-ish background color of a
QCheckBox::setEnabled(0)?

I tried to set the background via:

QCheckbox::setStyleSheet("QCheckBox::indicator {background-color:red;}");

but that fills the whole checkbox with that color including the border and the checkmark itself.

hi @pauledd

haven't checked it, but using the disabled keyword should work as a selector:

QCheckBox::indicator:disabled{...}

or simply

QCheckBox:disabled {...}

Thanks, with

QCheckBox:disabled {background-color:red;}

I get this:

and with

QCheckBox:disabled {color:green;background-color:red;}

this:

still weird looking but I can live with that...
Thank you.

You mean the background color "overspill" to right & bottom? I don't know but you might play with border-... or padding-... (I'm thinking margin- does not use background color, but I might be wrong) having a width/transparency/grey....
