    Hi all,

    I'm here with an other qt question. How to change the background color of the sidebar and top bar of your application?
    So I have to following application where the I would like to change the background of the red circled area.
    Now this are 2 grid layouts. I know it is possible in qml but I would like to do it in c++ if possible.

    Kind regards,
    TMJJ

      Hi
      If its only a layouts, then the background is the form. (for both)
      You could use a widget with the grid layouts and set background
      on the placeholder widget.
      Stylesheet would do it easy.

        @mrjj
        This I tried. But then I get stuff like this:
        0_1527176863099_Screenshot from 2018-05-24 17_43_54.png

        The sides and bottom also color green. This because I can't stretch the widget completely over the mainwindows.

        Any solution for this as well?

          Hi
          I assume its all in a layout.
          Layouts have a default border/margin that you might want to change to zero and see
          alt text
