Re: [platform-swt-dev] Coloring widgets on Qt

[Otto <ottoptr@xxxxxxxxx>]

I'm a bit lost with those eSWT, Qt/E, QVFB, etc (no idea what they mean).
Is that a problem of SWT itself or with my environment?

I have tested several widget styles (motif, etc) but got the same result.

I can confirm this. For instance, some of the Qt widgets in
the Windows style don't support changing the background
color. So it would depend on what version of Qt you were
using, and what style is being used for you within eSWT. I
don't think eSWT is going to give you a way to pick a
different style, but you could try hacking the eSWT code
yourself to do so to see if that's the problem. I recall the
Windows 95 style was a bit more forgiving than the XP one
when it comes to covers.
