QT: set stylesheet for a QMenu object

What's the correct way to apply styles for a QMenu object?

I'm trying this:

QMenu contextMenu(tr("Context menu"), this);
contextMenu.addAction(new QAction(tr("Hello"), this));
contextMenu.setStyleSheet("*:hover { color:#FFF; } *:!hover { color:#aaa; }");

I'm trying to set different text colors for when the mouse is over the menu option and when the mouse isn't over the option. But it's not working.

  1. In case of QMenu styling use QMenu::item:selected

  2. Here is an example 

     QMenu::item{
 background-color: rgb(0, 170, 0);
 color: rgb(255, 255, 255);
 }

 QMenu::item:selected{
 background-color: rgb(0, 85, 127);
 color: rgb(255, 255, 255);
 }

  3. In your case

      QString  menuStyle(
           "QMenu::item{"
           "background-color: rgb(0, 170, 0);"
           "color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"
           "}"
           "QMenu::item:selected{"
           "background-color: rgb(0, 85, 127);"
           "color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"
           "}"
        );

  this->setStyleSheet(menuStyle);

  4. Refer the Qt Style Sheets example for more options
