I tried that too.Yes...lots of references on stylesheets but none on command
line switch usage with it.
I'll have to try a simple app and see if I can get that to work.
I tried using the same stylesheets I already have for several widgets and no
joy so there either must be some magic to it.

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.
