Maybe you are resetting your style sheet instead of adding new style.

Hi alfah,

for your first question try this :

As I understand if this is fixed the second problem dissappears?

eddy,

no the problem is not solved with that,
infact,

yea solving this would dissolve the second problem :)

alfah

michal,

I tried your solution, the setting font and ht and width works, but it does not align to the centre :(

alfah

i tried this too ,
it does not work

1.  tabWidget->setStyleSheet("QTabBar::tab{height:40px; width:108px; color:red;font: 9pt}"); tabWidget->setStyleSheet("QTabWidget::tab-bar{left:0px; }");

i tried like this, my first stylesheet setting disappeared!! no color red or size specificcation. yea solving this would dissolve the second problem :) alfah

i tried it out with my code and it works on my example.

I tried your code in Qt Designer RIGHT MOUSE BUTTON click > change style sheet. You get immediately a statusbar which tells you if the stylesheet is ok or not. I suggest you to test them always there. That’s what I did and it gave me the following good result :

i jus found out something!!!!

both, yours and michal’s code works in the simulator but not on the device!!!!! :(
now wat do i do??? :( :(

alfah

What device are you using? what target do you use on Qt Creator?

Im using a C7, and wat do you mean by target on Qt Creator? :(

So it’s Symbian^3. That’s what you use in the project settings in Qt Creator or choosing as template when starting your project.

Could you make a new Symbian^3 based project use a QWidget instead of a QMainWindow and apply a QTabWidget on it with your stylesheet? I want to diagnose when this occurs and maybe QMainWindow has to follow some styling rules.

i jus simply pasted the same code in another a new proj, new form of QWidget and i got the proj running with no errors but no tabs seen!!

I cant set the following

I faced with the same prob last time and the above code did it, but now since it is QWidget. .:(

you cannot use centralWidget in a QWidget. just use setlayout in the constructor.

eddy,
got the tabs displayed, but the same trouble. It works on the simulator but not on the device!! :(
The gap is still there :(

Do you have any stylesheet changed on the device or is it like you didn’t use a stylesheet at all?

stylesheet changed on the device meaning??
I havnt made any settings change.

Simply created three tabs using following code

Only the above stylesheet has been used
