Styling The Menu Bar in PyQT4

Question

I am finishing up my application and I can't figure up how to change the MenuBar in pyqt4. I am using a dark and gray theme, and on windows the menu bar is white, and I would like it to be dark like the rest of the app. How do I change the background color of QMenu or QMenuBar colors In PyQt4. I have been able to change the drop downs, but the top bar with File | Tools | Help stays white. Properties I tried changing:

background-color: # Doesn't seem to do anything
color: # Only changes the text color not the background
alternate-background-color: # Doesn't seem to do anything

Maybe I just haven't found the right property to assign the background color to match the rest of the app, a little help? Thanks!

It looks fine on my PC.

class SubMenu(QMenuBar):
    def __init__(self, parent=None):
        super(SubMenu, self).__init__(parent)
        self.addAction("File")
        self.addAction("View")
        self.setStyleSheet("""QMenuBar {
             background-color: blue;
        }""")
        self.resize(320, 240)


if __name__ == '__main__':
    app = QApplication(sys.argv)
    m = SubMenu()
    m.show()
    app.exec_()

Style sheet with Items

class SubMenu(QMenuBar):
    def __init__(self, parent=None):
        super(SubMenu, self).__init__(parent)
        self.addAction("File")
        self.addAction("View")
        self.setStyleSheet("""QMenuBar {
         background-color: blue;
        }

     QMenuBar::item {
         background: blue;
     }""")
        self.resize(320, 240)


if __name__ == '__main__':
    app = QApplication(sys.argv)
    m = SubMenu()
    m.show()
    app.exec_()
