[Qt-interest] QDialog with wrong contentsMargins()

[Anton Chernov]

OMG!

If set on the widget or dialog it should be padding! not margin - margin
would be for layout contents

look here
http://doc.qt.nokia.com/latest/stylesheet-customizing.html#box-model

setStyleSheet( QString( "QDialog { padding: %1px; }" ).arg( value ) );
