Impossible to change the color of the text of QTabBar with setTabTextColor

• Python: 3.7

Setting the color of the text of individual tab in QTabBar with QTabBar.setTabTextColor is not working when using qdarkstyle

Below I present an example that demonstrate the issue.

Relevant Code [if necessary]

from PyQt5.QtGui import QColor
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QApplication, QTabWidget, QWidget
import sys
import qdarkstyle

app = QApplication(sys.argv)
app.setStyleSheet(qdarkstyle.load_stylesheet_pyqt5())

tabwidget = QTabWidget()
colors = ('red', 'green', 'black', 'blue')
for i, color in enumerate(colors):
    tabwidget.addTab(QWidget(), 'Tab #{}'.format(i + 1))
    tabwidget.tabBar().setTabTextColor(i, QColor(color))

tabwidget.show()
tabwidget.setMinimumWidth(300)
sys.exit(app.exec_())

Not sure how to provide this change. The tab widget does not accept QLabel, and HTML text is rendered colored as desired, but it stills with the HTML code be shown.

@dpizetta if we do not provide a color style for the whole tab widget text color this wotks, but as soon as we provide that color, then set tabcolor stops working with qdarkstyle.

One option would be to not enforce that color?

@goanpeca we can try that :) Tks

@dpizetta if we do not provide a color style for the whole tab widget text color this works, but as soon as we provide that color, then set tabcolor stops working with qdarkstyle.

@goanpeca have you tried this? I do, but it stills having the problem. It would be inheriting. It does not work. I suggest @jnsebgosselin use icon if possible. If anyone has another idea, please let me know.

I remeber trying something along the lines I said and it worked but I would need to check again.

@jnsebgosselin now it should be working :)
