Hi,

AFAIK, you can't with stylesheet. You will have to paint that yourself.

Hi,

I think I have something for you, which is a trick I found to achieve that as well. I'm not sure I could call it a solution, but I think it might be what you need.

As described in my answer on Stack Overflow — How to get bracket style border for QWidget using stylesheets, you could use QLinearGradient:

background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);
border: 5px solid qlineargradient(spread: pad,x1:0, y1:0, x2:1, y2:0, 
           stop: 0 green,
           stop: 0.2 green,
           stop: 0.21 white,
           stop: 0.8 white,
           stop: 0.81 green
           stop: 1 green);
border-left:  5px solid green;
border-right: 5px solid green;

Just adjust the stops values and the colors, and see if it works for you.

Important: there needs to be a small fraction separating them to achieve a solid color.

Hope it helps!

A creative solution! The inventors of QStyleSheetwould probably have said "doesn't work" - and be surprised.
