I tried using bringing in a simple stylesheet via the command line

widgets.
So either I have the wrong syntax or something just plain isn't working.
I expect to be able to name the widget and set the stylesheet like
this from what I've read.
MainWindow {
font: bold 10pt "Arial";
color : white;
background-color : grey;
}
I can't find any examples of using the command line switches like this.

Hi Mike,
IIRC the -style option selects from predefined styles although I can't
find the docs on that right now.
Also see here: http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qapplication.html#styleSheet-prop
and here: http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/style-reference.html (lots of reading here)
Examples in the Qt sources, here:
http://code.qt.io/cgit/qt/qtbase.git/tree/examples/widgets/widgets/stylesheet
and here:
http://code.qt.io/cgit/qt/qtbase.git/tree/examples/widgets/widgets/styles
WSJT-X uses both widget and application stylesheets in a rather ad hoc
fashion and is not a very stylesheet friendly application but that can
be sorted out with some changes. I suspect that some widgets will always
be styled only by the application but making it more friendly to
different application stylesheets and even user stylesheets is a
reasonable project, not trivial though. What is needed is the metadata
to make good stylesheets possible to write, for example grouping widgets
of similar type and usage by property values.
Your style sheet look wrong to me, shouldn't the type selector be
QMainWindow rather than MainWindow.
The way WSJT-X controls fonts will not be compatible with trying to set
fonts via a stylesheet, this is due to a limitation in the way Qt
widgets use fonts and stylesheets.
