[Qt-interest] Different Text background color in QTextEdit

[Hari Sundar]

Hi,
I am trying to use QTextEdit in the read only mode to display formatted log
messages for my program. For this purpose, I wish to add different lines
formatted differently and with different background colors based on the type
of message.

I tried to do this initially using HTML and stylesheet, but it appears that
CSS stylesheets are not fully supported. Specifically I was unable to get
background colors to work.

So, I switched to using QTextCharFormat / QTextFrameFormat etc ... to format
my text, but am unable to set background color even with this.

Is it possible ? What am I missing ? Alternatively is there any other widget
better suited for this task ?

thanks,
Hari
