Hi I am trying to follow the style plugin example given here - http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5.0/qtwidgets/tools-styleplugin.html The docs state that Note: On some platforms, the native style will prevent the button from having a red background. In this case, try to run the example in another style (e.g., fusion). And indeed on my Windows 7 box the color of the button is unchanged. Does this mean that there is no way to change the backgound color of a widget using style plugins on windows? Thanks No. There are several ways to get a red button on windows. It just means you cannot have a _native_ looking red button since the button background pixmap is provided by the operating system and does not support custom palettes. A custom style is not affected by this limitation since you will be drawing it yourself, similarly you can create a red button with a style sheet or simply use Fusion style with your application or widget when you specifically need custom palette colours.
