I think the answers are: a) You can't really use a brush for this because it only supports tiled textures. b) QMdiArea doesn't support style sheets: http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7/stylesheet-reference.html However, I looked at qtconfig, one of the tools shipped with Qt, and it seems that there's a trick you can use if you are able to create a QMdiArea subclass and use that instead of a regular QMdiArea widget: http://www.diotavelli.net/PyQtWiki/Adding_a_background_image_to_an_MDI_area David _______________________________________________ PyQt mailing list PyQt@riverbankcomputing.com http://www.riverbankcomputing.com/mailman/listinfo/pyqt
