Text Color in QTabBar is not working

[kiteh]

Hi all,

I am trying to set text color to Red in a specified tab of QTabBar.

Tried using the command `setTabTextColor`, there is something happening but the text color is not changing, it is still remaining as white even when I put it at the __init__ stage.

This is my code : https://pastebin.com/raw/t1dyGDi6

I placed in a print statement in `set_menu()` as follows:

def set_menu(self):
    ....
    # This will returns me PySide2.QtGui.QColor.fromRgbF(1.000000, 0.000000, 0.000000, 1.000000), values for Red
    print self.tab_bar.tabTextColor(0)

Wondering if I have miss out something here?

Hey Kiteh,

You should be able to style all Qwidgets using the setStyleSheet function and color it with CSS.

setStyleSheet("color: #FF0000;")

Hi Jakob,

I am trying to target it to one or more tabs found within the QTabBar.

I asked about `setTabTextColor` as it was mentioned in http://pyqt.sourceforge.net/Docs/PyQt4/qtabbar.html#setTabTextColor

Even so, how should I incorporate the `setStylesheet` for the tabs? I have only used it eg. for QPushButton, QLabels etc, where they are mostly a singleton elements

The stylesheet reference explains how to style a QTabBar:

Currently I have tried using the following:

def tabs_color(self):

    ...

    ...

    for index in range(self.tab_bar.count()):

        text = self.tab_bar.tabText(index)

        color = QtCore.Qt.transparent.name if text in qmenu_items else QtCore.Qt.red.name

        # self.tab_bar.setTabTextColor(index, color)

        self.tab_bar.setStyleSheet(

            '''

            QTabBar::tab {{}}

            QTabBar::tab:selected {{background-color: {color};}}

            '''.format(color=my_color)

        )

There are 2 different issues that I am experiencing..

1. While the 'non-existent' tab(s) got highlighted with a red background, as soon as I try to navigate to all the other tabs, the supposed 'non-existent' tab reverted back to its original background color while my current tab selected instead got colored red.

2. Thought I had tried to use `setCurrentIndex` - navigate to each of the tab followed by setting using `setStylesheet`, no tabs will be highlighted and only the last tab will be considered?
