Customize QMenu display with QProxyStyle

[Charles]

Wrong QProxyStyle method. Tip: to know the right method, search for
menuitem in
https://codebrowser.dev/qt6/qtbase/src/widgets/styles/qcommonstyle.cpp.html

class Style(QProxyStyle):
    def drawControl(self, element, option, painter, widget):
        if element == QStyle.ControlElement.CE_MenuItem:
            super().drawItemText(painter, option.rect,
Qt.AlignmentFlag.AlignRight, option.palette, True, option.text,
QPalette.ColorRole.ButtonText)
        else:
            return super().drawControl(element, option, painter, widget)
