How to style QMenu right-arrow on hover using Qt Style Sheets?

[Oliver2025]

I'm trying to customize the right-arrow icon in a QMenu when hovering over a menu item that has a submenu. I used the following style sheet:

QMenu::right-arrow {
    image: url(:/icons/menuRight.png);
}
QMenu::right-arrow:selected {
    image: url(:/icons/menuRight2.png);
}

The default arrow icon (menuRight.png) displays correctly, but the selected state doesn't seem to apply when hovering over the menu item. The hover image (menuRight2.png) never shows up.

Is there a reliable way to change the right-arrow icon on hover? Or do I need to use a custom widget to achieve this?
Any help or workaround would be appreciated!

when hovering over a menu item that has a submenu

"Selected" ≠ "hover"

Also, I'm not sure whether the :hover attribute works in this case or not.
BTW: "select" is what you do with e.g. list items in some view.

@SGaist has given you a similar answer to your last topic here

Thanks—I totally forgot I had posted this before! I tried

QMenu::right-arrow:hover

but unfortunately it's still not working.
