It should be...
The way I would go about this, is to subclass QGraphicsTextItem. Reimplement 
the paint() method. In your reimplementation, you can modify the style options 
to your liking, and then simply call the base implementation. I am not exactly 
sure what style option to modify, probably you need to (un)set one of the flags 
set in the state variable.
This way, you won't have to reimplement the actual drawing yourself :-)

Still: while I have done similar things with item views in the past, I have 
not tried this technique on QGraphicsView's. YMMV.

I hope that helps?
