I have a widget in the main window, the widget has the following styles:
background-color:#ffeeeeee;width:100%;height:100%;
It is set-up to widget layout and controls auto size to fill the geometry of the widget, but the background of the widget is always transparent. What can I do to make it opaque?
This is using Qt5.6 running on RedHat Linux 7.2
NOTE: The syntax #ffeeeeee is specific to Qt, where the first node is the alpha, then red, green and blue octets.
With the background-color present and set to any of the following:
background-color:white;width:100%;height:100%;
or
background-color:#ffffff;width:100%;height:100%;
or my original:
background-color:#ffeeeeee;width:100%;height:100%;
The property, autoFillBackground is set to false and the background of the widget is transparent at run-time.
However removing any background-color style and leaving the style as just:
width:100%;height:100%
The property, autoFillBackground is set to true and the widget is opaque.
As far as I can see there is no error in the styles, I believe this may be an error in Qt.
