As others have already pointed out, when you do extensive customisation like this, style-sheets will fall back to using the same style on all platforms which happen to be windows style. Not all styles support palettes equally well and especially not in combination with style sheets. However in your case the workaround would be pretty simple. If all you want is to modify the palette, then you do not have to use style sheets at all. Simply create a custom QPalette with your preferred colors and apply this on your QApplication object at startup instead.
