How do I add a box-shadow to an element in QT?

Question

I tried to do: this->setStyleSheet("-webkit-box-shadow: 0px 0px 20px rgba(0, 0, 0, 1);") and I get the error: Unknown property -webkit-box-shadow. The same goes for box-shadow and -moz-box-shadow. Box-shadow, however, renders fine in a QWebView. Is there no way to add this effect to normal elements?

Not all CSS works on qwidgets. QSS shares syntax and many properties with CSS for the web but is not identical — cppguy

Have a look at the docs for QFrame. There's a frame shadow property.

it doesnt seem to be working: does this conflict with the stylesheets?
