Re: [PyQt] setting color of window titlebar or window background
we use a stylesheet for this purpose, they are
rather easy to implement, and you can have one
for test, pre-production, production ...

Yes, of course, but the price is high: draw your own and mimic the
window manager behavior (move, hide, {min,max}imize, quit..).
How about coloring the background of your app, add some text to the
title bar or color your icon red?

[PyQt] setting color of window titlebar or window background
When users of my program run it in test mode, it is not actively saving data. Once in a while, a user forgets that they are in test mode and attempts to run an experiment only to realize that the data wasn't being saved after they're done. Is it possible to change the color of the title bar or background to indicate that it is in test mode? Something like a bright red title bar would be ideal, but I'm ok with anything that I can set to visually indicate the difference between test and data collection mode that's obvious enough to a user.
