One thing to be aware of when using QMacStyle or QWindowsStyle is that they are trying to emulate the Macintosh or Windows mandated look. The blue focus ring is a Macintosh thing, and like many things Apple, it comes in one size. The width of the blue line is mandated.
On Windows, when I ran your test, it looks like you are getting the standard Windows dotted-line focus ring. Usually it's a bit inset from the edges of the edit box, though. Once again, QWindowsStyle is giving you the Windows look, and that's it. You might try Fusion style, we have found that the look isn't bad, but it doesn't look like either Windows or Macintosh.
