Setting padding and margin to 0 doesn´t work

It´s just a container and i want to put widgets inside and hide them and show them. I don´t want it to have any margins or paddings, and it will be invisible (no border, no background)

I set the QWidget#container to margin:0px, padding:0px through a stylesheet. And setObjectName("container") to all the widgets that contain.

Nothing happens. But setting a background color works, so it is executed.

In which cases does this happen? How to fix this?

Solution

  • QWidget does not support box model, so it does not understand padding/margin CSS directives. Use QFrame as container. To see which widgets support box model take a look at list of stylable widgets
