The stylesheet uses different gradients and possibly borders to create a different visual effect for those combo boxes. They sit in a toolbar, and they're lighter than their surroundings. I used the same effect on tool buttons elsewhere on the toolbar. Pinpointing the exact differences between the local stylesheet and the sprawling top level master stylesheet is somewhat involved, and I haven't taken the time to do that. It seems like more than QPalette could handle. On the subject of QPalette, we're supposed to be replacing all the occurrences of local stylesheets with QPalette, correct? I just did that in one of the 11 or so places left to tackle, and in the course of my reading I found a dozen admonitions from Qt people that stylesheets are the "preferred way to go" and QPalette "isn't guaranteed to work." Now that I think about it, I seem to remember replacing a lot of broken QPalette stuff with stylesheets quite intentionally. I'll take your word for it that this is the right way to go, but I'm curious what all the warnings are about. The particular example I just converted is code that's notoriously hard to reach, so I'm not certain my conversion worked as intended. I need a MIDI file with lyrics in an unusual encoding, to trigger the dialog where the user helps Rosegarden decide what encoding to use. I used to have a test file for this, but have no memory of what file that was. I need to try my palette conversion on a more accessible patch of code to see if I am making any progress. -- D.
