Besides the "border: none" that you should add to prevent native borders drawing over your image (this may be a bug), only selected widget classes are eligible to have styled background. Buttons are not in that list. Then, while pure QWidgets can have background images, any derived custom class with Q_OBJECT can't.
Forcing w->setAttribute(Qt::WA_StyledBackground, true); in qstylesheetstyle.cpp will allow you to use background images. I haven't noticed any ill effects yet. I don't know why upstream has limited this however. Apparently, this hasn't been fixed in upstream snapshots yet. Note: the bug described in http://trolltech.com/developer/task-tracker/index_html?method=entry&id=170499 has nothing to do with this one. It isn't a Designer-only problem. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
