[Qt-interest] context menu problem

[Benjamin]

In fact there is definitely a workaround to do this. You simply have
to create a new QStyle for the menu, and change the color there.
On mac, I subclass QMacStyle and override drawControl:


void GreatStyle::drawControl ( ControlElement element, const
QStyleOption * option, QPainter * painter, const QWidget * widget)
const{
    if(element == QStyle::CE_MenuItem){
        const QStyleOptionMenuItem* menuOption = static_cast<const
QStyleOptionMenuItem*>(option);
        if(menuOption->text == goodAction->text()){
            QStyleOptionMenuItem newMenuOption(*menuOption);
            QPalette newPalette(option->palette);
            newPalette.setColor(QPalette::ButtonText, QColor(255, 0, 0));
            newMenuOption.palette = newPalette;
            QMacStyle::drawControl(element, &newMenuOption, painter, widget);
            return;
        }
    }
    QMacStyle::drawControl(element, option, painter, widget);
}


where goodAction is the action I want in red. I set this new style to the menu:
    menu.setStyle(new RedStyle(importantAction, this));

and this is it! Thanks to Andy Shaw for this great trick.
