Set content margins from stylesheet

Question

I'm struggling to set content margins to zero from QLayout objects in Qt with a stylesheet. I can remove them with QLayout::setContentsMargins(0, 0, 0, 0) but I would prefer to do it from stylesheet.

Answer 1

As of now this cannot be achieved. Use

QLayout::setContentsMargins(0, 0, 0, 0)

and

QLayout::setSpacing(0)

if you also want to eliminate the space between widgets.

Answer 2

It is not possible to set a stylesheet for a QLayout, use a QWidget instead, in which you will set a layout. Then, you can set the margin and/or padding of your widget with stylesheet to match you needs.
