Hi Maurizio,
Thank you very much for the efforts you did to share your solution with us.
I have implemented your solution in my own sample code. You can see the result in a new chapter in the StackOverflow question: Second proposed solution . Yes, the question got so long (because I try to give as much information about the subject as possible) that I've divided it into chapters ;-)
Unfortunately, my stylesheet somehow gets in the way and turns the tabs back to the standard color. Only a thin colored line on the edge remains.
Throwing away my stylesheet is not really an option, unless there is another way to implement the styles from that stylesheet.

Onderwerp: Re: [PyQt] Changing color of individual tabs
I just posted an answer, but I'll share it here too because it might be useful for people not on stackoverflow.

I stumbled upon similar issues some weeks ago, and then I studied a bit about how QStyle works. The concept is that you will let Qt draw the whole widget, but using QStyleOption helper classes (there's almost one for every kind of widget). [ https://i.stack.imgur.com/5PoNU.jpg ]
Here's a simple example, without stylesheets. As you can see, it has some issues (the colored tab doesn't draw well when focused) and usually qpalette doesn't work well with stylesheets, but at least that's a start.
I tested it and it works without consuming resources. I hope it helps.
class TabBar ( QtWidgets . QTabBar ): def __init__ ( self , parent ): QtWidgets . QTabBar . __init__ ( self , parent ) self . colorIndexes = parent . colorIndexes def paintEvent ( self , event ): qp = QtGui . QPainter ( self ) for index in range ( self . count ()): option = QtWidgets . QStyleOptionTab () self . initStyleOption ( option , index ) if index in self . colorIndexes : palette = self . palette () palette . setColor ( palette . Window , self . colorIndexes [ index ]) option . palette = palette self . style (). drawControl ( QtWidgets . QStyle . CE_TabBarTab , option , qp , self ) class TabWidget ( QtWidgets . QTabWidget ): def __init__ ( self ): QtWidgets . QTabWidget . __init__ ( self ) self . colorIndexes = { 1 : QtGui . QColor ( QtCore . Qt . red ), 3 : QtGui . QColor ( QtCore . Qt . blue ), } self . setTabBar ( TabBar ( self )) for i in range ( 5 ): w = QtWidgets . QWidget () self . addTab ( w , 'tab {}' . format ( i ))
Let me know what do you think of it! :-)

Maurizio

Dear PyQt5 users/developers,
I've been struggeling with the following problem: I can't change the color of an individual tab (from a QTabWidget) without losing its stylesheet or burning up my CPU. I've posted the question some weeks ago on StackOverflow - but couldn't get a meaningful answer either.
Please take a look at the question, and win the +50 bonus points if you can help me out:

Thank you so much.
Kind greetings,
