You missed some CSS.  Without a CSS selector, the background-color
recursively applies to all widgets parented by the main window. 

Try setStyleSheet( "QMainWindow { background-color: rgb(85, 170, 255); }" );
or
      setStyleSheet( "#mainWindowObjectName { background-color: rgb(85, 170,
255); }" ); 

Hope that helps,
