Changing the background color QTextEdit also has a scroll bar color

Question

I want the QtextEdit in my application to be green, so I set the stylesheet

background-color: rgb(109, 255, 99);

However, this also changes the background color of the scroll bars and even when I press the right mouse button in text mode, the menu displayed is also green, and this is not what I expected.

I use Qt Designer to create a gui, and then I used uic to create a C ++ file.

in a C ++ file is as follows:

textEdit->setAutoFillBackground(false);
textEdit->setStyleSheet(QString::fromUtf8("background-color: rgb(109, 255, 99);"));
textEdit->setReadOnly(true);

Does anyone know how to set the background color only for the area where the text will be?

thank

All children of your text editing will inherit the style sheet, so all children (for example, context menus) will have a green background.

QTextEdit , ..

textEdit->setStyleSheet("QTextEdit { background-color: rgb(109, 255, 99) }");

, , QTextEdit :

qApp->setStyleSheet("QTextEdit { background-color: rgb(109, 255, 99) }");
