[PyQt] question about QComboBox

[Dave Gradwell]

Hi Phillip,

> Worse yet, the API documentation does not mention a setStyleSheet method
QComboBox inherits setStyleSheet() from QWidget (where it may be better documented) so this should work:
QtWidgets.QComboBox(parent).setStyleSheet("color:red;”)

You may be able to style individual items by manipulating the Painter:

A bit lower-level, but helped me achieve something similar when I needed to go beyond style-sheeting..

Best, Dave.

I was hoping that this would be addressed in Qt5, but it hasn't.  Worse yet, the API documentation does not mention a setStyleSheet method, so it looks as though the ability to set a stylesheet for the top-level widget has been removed.  I hope that I'm wrong on both of these points.
