Is it possible to change the text alignment of a QComboBox that is not not editable? This answer achieves this by making the QComboBox editable
How to center text in QComboBox?
However, I don't want that because with that change, the clickable part of the ComboBox to trigger the list is now only the arrow on the right, whereas before the entire area was clickable and triggers the drop down menu.

The answer is partly already given in the linked question How to center text in QComboBox? What remains is to make the read-only object clickable. This can be done as suggested here. ...giving you the following code:
from PyQt4 import QtGui, QtCore
class Window(QtGui.QWidget):
def __init__(self):
QtGui.QWidget.__init__(self)
layout = QtGui.QVBoxLayout(self)
self.combo = QtGui.QComboBox()
self.combo.setEditable(True)
self.ledit = self.combo.lineEdit()
self.ledit.setAlignment(QtCore.Qt.AlignCenter)
# as suggested in the comment to
# https://stackoverflow.com/questions/23770287/how-to-center-text-in-qcombobox
self.ledit.setReadOnly(True) #
self.combo.addItems('One Two Three Four Five'.split())
layout.addWidget(self.combo)
self.clickable(self.combo).connect(self.combo.showPopup)
self.clickable(self.ledit).connect(self.combo.showPopup)
def clickable(self,widget):
""" class taken from
https://wiki.python.org/moin/PyQt/Making%20non-clickable%20widgets%20clickable """
class Filter(QtCore.QObject):
clicked = QtCore.pyqtSignal()
def eventFilter(self, obj, event):
if obj == widget:
if event.type() == QtCore.QEvent.MouseButtonRelease:
if obj.rect().contains(event.pos()):
self.clicked.emit()
# The developer can opt for .emit(obj) to get the object within the slot.
return True
return False
filter = Filter(widget)
widget.installEventFilter(filter)
return filter.clicked
if __name__ == '__main__':
import sys
app = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)
window = Window()
window.show()
sys.exit(app.exec_())
