Setting colour of text in QT QLabel

Agama · 10-12-2013, 03:15 AM

Is there a simple means for setting the colour of text in a QLabel widget? There doesn't seem to be a property for this and the documentation only mentions text colour in the context of displaying small rich text documents.

Use <span style="color:red">your text</span>

or if you dont want to use rich text

label.setStylesheet('QLabel { color: red }')

or if you dont want to use stylesheets:

pal = QPalette(label.palette())
pal.setColor(QPalette.WindowText, QColor(Qt.red))
label.setPalette(pal)

Thanks. I tried the rich text method and it works a treat.
