Just speculating without really knowing anything about this, but... Have you made sure that there actually is enough space for painting that focus ring? Up until now I had never heard of a "focus ring", but after looking at the screenshots, it seems that it is simply a wide border around a widget that is only visible when the widget has focus. But if a widget was not designed to have such a large border around it, there might simply be no room around the widget to paint your focus ring and then anything you try to paint might simply be completely or partially lost by clipping. This could explain why your experiments show a partial result on Mac but no result at all on Windows; Qt might put some extra space around widgets on Mac but not on Windows just because both platforms have their own style that Qt tries to mimic.
