How to make tabs in Qt look like tabs in Google Chrome?

Question

I don't want my tabs to have a Drag and Drop feature like Chrome (as covered by this question: Apply chrome like tabs in Qt) - I just want them to look like Chrome tabs.

I'm currently using QTabWidget, but its built-in shape QTabWidget::Triangular is so ugly. What do I need to use? Stylesheet or image or something else?

Answer 1

You can use border-image property of the QTabBar::tab. Just read the documentation as to how you could style border-image. There is a nice explanation in the documentation.

I have done something like this using above method.

You could do the same. To change the close button you could style QTabBar::close-button. The final answer is you can achieve what you required, just using Qt stylesheets.
