Adjust title position in a QGroupBox (using style sheets) - qt

I am trying to style a QGroupBox to match certain design requirements:
Note - the group title on top should be on the left but past the box curvature.
With the following style sheet, I get the images below (second image if I remove the word "left"):
QGroupBox {
font: bold;
border: 1px solid silver;
border-radius: 6px;
margin-top: 6px;
}
QGroupBox::title {
subcontrol-origin: margin;
subcontrol-position: top left; // for second image: top;
padding: 0 2px 0 2px;
}
So, it seems what I want is subcontrol-position: top left; but with an added offset. I could not find that anywhere.
Adding padding erases the line, so it is not what I want.
There is one option I found just now - a different option for subcontrol-origin::
QGroupBox::title {
subcontrol-origin: padding;
subcontrol-position: top left;
padding: -16 12px 0 12px;
}
It looks almost right - but the border now cuts through the title.
How can I move the title of the group box, so that it is still on left but past the box curvature, and the curvature to stay visible, such as in the design ?

Applying the following style:
QGroupBox {
font: bold;
border: 1px solid silver;
border-radius: 6px;
margin-top: 6px;
}
QGroupBox::title {
subcontrol-origin: margin;
left: 7px;
padding: 0px 5px 0px 5px;
}
I get something like this:

CSS hover prevent child from affected

I have the following div stricture.
<div class="profile_outer>
<div class="profile"></div>
</div>
And the following CSS
.profile_outer {
border: 2px solid #660000;
-moz-border-radius: 5px;
border-radius: 5px;
-webkit-border-radius: 5px;
}
.profile {
width: 198px;
height: 225px;
border: 1px solid #660000;
-moz-border-radius: 5px;
border-radius: 5px;
-webkit-border-radius: 5px;
z-index: 100;
}
.profile_outer:hover {
background-color: blue;
}
you can find the fiddle here
Both divs do not have a background, the background is determined by an image on some parent div. So they are transparent.
So, on a hover I just want to change the background of the outer profile. It only works if I also change the background color of the inner div using
.profile_outer:hover .profile {
display: block;
background : #fff; // but I do NOT want to change the background
}
I tried the following combinations of these:
.profile_outer:hover .profile {
display: block;
background : none !important;
background-color:transparent;
}
Thanks for your help.
Well, I guess that the effect that you want is this
.profile_outer {
border: 2px solid #660000;
border-radius: 5px;
overflow: hidden;
}
.profile {
width: 198px;
height: 225px;
border: 1px solid #660000;
border-radius: 5px;
z-index: 100;
}
.profile:hover {
box-shadow: 0px 0px 0px 1000px blue;
}
fiddle
... but you should review your ideas about transparency ...
After re-reading the question, I think that Moob's sugestion is right, the answer to the question is
.profile_outer:hover .profile {box-shadow: 0px 0px 0px 1000px blue;}
Set the child's background to #fff and it'll work.
Your problem happens because the default background color for all elements is transparent
There is one other way to get this effect but it could be really annoying to implement. I'm only offering it up as a solution for completeness. Effectively you have the SAME background image on the bit that is supposed to appear masked:
body {
margin:0px;
background:#fff url('http://lorempixel.com/output/cats-q-c-640-480-5.jpg') 0 0 repeat;
}
.profile_outer {
margin:20px; /* added this just to show that you'd need to offset the image placement in .profile depending on its position */
}
.profile {
background:#fff url('http://lorempixel.com/output/cats-q-c-640-480-5.jpg') -20px -20px repeat;
}

Display two rows of six columns and have them shrink

I'm try to display two rows of six columns and have them shrink when the browser window shrinks. The original css displays number of columns depending on the image size, each image floating left, so for different screen sizes I end up with large spaces.
.ngg-albumoverview {
overflow: hidden;
margin-top: 1px;
margin-left: 0px;
width: 100%;
clear:both;
display:block !important;
}
.ngg-album {
float:left;
height: 100%;
padding: 0px;
margin-bottom: 0px;
border: 0px solid #fff;
}
/* IE6 will ignore this , again I hate IE6 */
/* See also http://www.sitepoint.com/article/browser-specific-css-hacks */
html>body .ngg-album {
overflow:hidden;
padding: 0px;
margin-bottom: 0px;
border: 0px solid #cccccc;
}
.ngg-album {
overflow: hidden;
padding: 0px;
margin-bottom: 0px;
border: 0px solid #cccccc;
}
.ngg-albumtitle {
text-align: left;
font-weight: bold;
margin:0px;
padding:0px;
font-size: 1.4em;
margin-bottom: 0px;
}
.ngg-thumbnail {
float: left;
margin-bottom: 10px;
margin-right: 2px;
text-align: center;
font-weight:bold;
background-color:#0F0F0F;
-webkit-border-radius: 0px 0px 8px 8px;
-moz-border-radius: 0px 0px 8px 8px;
border-radius: 0px 0px 8px 8px
}
.ngg-thumbnail img {
background-color:#A9A9A9;
border:0px solid #1D1D1D;
display:block;
margin:4px 0px 4px 5px;
padding:4px;
position:relative;
-webkit-border-radius: 4px;
-moz-border-radius: 4px;
border-radius: 4px;
width:200px;
}
.more {
width: 100%;
background-color:#0F0F0F;
-webkit-border-radius: 10px;
-moz-border-radius: 10px;
border-radius: 10px
}
.ngg-thumbnail:hover {
background-color: #333333;
}
.ngg-thumbnail img:hover {
background-color: #FFFFFF;
}
.more:hover {
background-color: #333333;
}
.ngg-description {
text-align: center;
}
When I add this css to .ngg-albumoverview it displays six columns ok and shrinks them, but the second image is placed under the first, instead of alongside, with the third image alongside the first.
columns:100px 6;
-webkit-columns:100px 6; /* Safari and Chrome */
-moz-columns:100px 6; /* Firefox */
CSS columns are just segregations of the page and flow the same as the rest of the page. Your images are laid out like this:
[1][3][5]
[2][4][6]
because the flow of a page goes top to bottom and expands as necessary depending on element widths.
Your images will not be in the order you want unless you remove the columns and replace it with a responsive grid. If you want the images to appear like:
[1][2][3]
[4][5][6]
you need to adjust your .ngg-thumbnail widths to be a percentage (that incorporates the margin, border and padding spacing in between and adds up close to 100% between 3 of them), float them to the left and give your .ngg-thumbnail img a max-width: 100%; and height: auto;. Be sure to float the .ngg-thumbnail parent element and not the img or they will be removed from the document flow and not line up with the grid unless you perfectly size everything (and you don't want that).
Almost forgot - make sure you add a clear: left; on the 4th image if your widths don't add up to 100% so it starts on a new line by default. You can select the 4th image with:
.ngg-thumbnail img:nth-of-type(4);

creating space between font awesome icon rows with css

I've got a selection part where I have multiple font Awesome icons and the selected one has a bar underneath it.
That goes alright as long as I only have 1 row of icons. When I have multiple rows the "selected bar" is not visible anymore as the icon underneath is hiding it.
I'm not very strong in css and tried all the padding and margins I could think of but without much success. In the attached jsfiddle you can see the selector for the last two icons, but not for the first one.
What should I add to the css below so that I can have multiple rows of icons and still see the selector bar?
.icon-picker {
border: 0px solid #000000;
margin-right: 5px;
width: 24px;
height: 24px;
background-color: #FFFFFF;
padding-bottom: 4px;
}
.selected {
border-left: 0px;
border-right: 0px;
border-top: 0px;
border-bottom: 2px solid #000000;
}
.icon-container {
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: middle;
padding-top: 4px;
padding-left: 15px;
max-width: 300px;
}
Thanks for your time.
jsfiddle
You need to make the <i> tag a block element for the width and height to be applied to the element.
See fiddle
.icon-picker {
border: 0px solid #000000;
display: inline-block;
margin-right: 5px;
width: 24px;
background-color: #FFFFFF;
}

Placing text on a CSS trapezoid

I have inherited a legacy app for a rewrite and have run across a curious problem. There is tabular data displayed on the page where the title of the table is within a trapezoidal shape that resembles a manila envelope tab. At the bottom of such tables, there is usually a button row that is the same shape as the table title but rotated 180°. Currently, this effect is being pulled off by using a square image with a white triangle in one half on a transparent background as a background image in the corner of a rectangular block to achieve the look of a trapezoid. However, this technique is prone to flickering when the page is refreshed.
As an exercise, I have tried to see if I can replace this with a pure CSS technique. I found this link to different shapes in CSS and have emulated the trapezoid to look as I need. I am able to place the table title text within a trapezoid correctly. However, when I need the look of the 180° rotated trapezoid, I am unable to get the text to place within the shape. My code is included below and here is a jsFiddle showing what I have accomplished so far. I understand that the text shows below the rotated trapezoid because the height is set to 0 and I'm using border-top to build the shape. Is there anything I can do to get this to work correctly?
Please keep in mind that I need this to display in IE8 (and possibly also IE8 in compatibility mode -- IE7). Also, I'd like to keep additional HTML elements to a minimum because I want to keep this as semantic as possible. I know I can place a span inside the div and absolutely position that span so that it displays the text within the shape, but when I do that I have to manually set a width on the trapezoid and when the width can vary from button row to button row, I'd rather not go down that path.
Thanks.
HTML:
<div class="trap">Title Text</div>
<div class="trap180">Button Row</div>​
CSS:
.trap {
color: black;
font: normal bold 13px Arial;
border-bottom: 27px solid #F00;
border-right: 27px solid transparent;
height: 0px;
float: left;
line-height: 27px;
padding: 0 4px;
}
.trap180 {
clear: both;
color: black;
font: normal bold 13px Arial;
border-top: 27px solid #F00;
border-left: 27px solid transparent;
height: 0px;
float: right;
margin: 20px 0 0 0;
line-height: 27px;
padding: 0px 4px 0;
}​
It's possible with pseudo-elements. But I don't have access to those old browsers to test.
.trap, .trap180 {
color: black;
font: normal bold 13px Arial;
float: left;
line-height: 30px;
height: 30px;
padding: 0 4px;
background: salmon;
position: relative;
}
.trap180 {
float: right;
margin: 20px 0 0 0;
}
.trap:after,.trap180:after {
content: '';
position: absolute;
height: 0px;
width: 40px;
top: 0;
}
.trap:after {
right: -30px;
border-bottom: 30px solid salmon;
border-right: 30px solid transparent;
z-index: -10;
}
.trap180:after {
left: -30px;
border-top: 30px solid salmon;
border-left: 30px solid transparent;
z-index: -10;
}

Demo
Frankly, if you need to still support IE7, I would just use images or allow a little graceful degradation.

Replacing li bullets with backround image, IE 8 and 7

I am adding an image that acts like a bullet for a li:
.top_right li {
float: left;
width: 7em;
line-height: 100%;
background: url(images/thumbs.png) no-repeat top 4px left;
border-bottom: solid 1px #222;
margin-right: 1em;
padding: 5px 0 5px 1.3em
}
Any ideas why thumbs.png does not show in IE 8 and 7?
Here's a working demo. I had to remove the top 4px left in the bakcground property for the image to show.
You have to either specify top left or Xpx Ypx, can't mix them up :).
