QScrollArea remove space between area content and scroll bar. - css

Question

I am facing a problem with QScrollArea.
In particular I can not find the right QSS rule for removing the 3px space between QSrollArea QFrame and QScroll.
The space I'd like to remove is the one pointed by the red arrow in the picture. I also added a blue border to the internal QFrame of the QSrollArea, but it seems to end correctly.

I am using QT 4.8.5 on a SLED 11 SP2 (under GNOME).
My QSS looks like this:
QScrollArea {
background: transparent;
}
QScrollArea > QWidget > QWidget
{
background: transparent;
border: 1px solid black;
margin: 0px 0px 0px 0px;
}
QScrollBar:horizontal
{
border: 1px solid #999999;
background:white;
height:7px;
margin: 0px 0px 0px 0px;
padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;
}
QScrollBar::handle:horizontal {
background: qlineargradient(x1:0, y1:0, x2:1, y2:0, stop: 0 rgb(32, 47, 130), stop: 0.5 rgb(32, 47, 130), stop:1 rgb(32, 47, 130));
min-width: 20px;
}
QScrollBar::add-line:horizontal {
background: qlineargradient(x1:0, y1:0, x2:1, y2:0, stop: 0 rgb(32, 47, 130), stop: 0.5 rgb(32, 47, 130), stop:1 rgb(32, 47, 130));
height: 0px;
subcontrol-position: right;
subcontrol-origin: margin;
}
QScrollBar::sub-line:horizontal {
background: qlineargradient(x1:0, y1:0, x2:1, y2:0, stop: 0 rgb(32, 47, 130), stop: 0.5 rgb(32, 47, 130), stop:1 rgb(32, 47, 130));
height: 0px;
subcontrol-position: left;
subcontrol-origin: margin;
}
Any Ideas?
Thanks.

Answer 1

Is it imperatively necessary to do it from QSS and QSS only? I think changing the layoutBottomMargin of the scrollAreaWidgetContents(i.e. the widget inside the QScrollArea) will solve the problem.
