How to make buttons from scratch in PyQt5?

During making my program I needed to create a widget with QTextEdit and QPushButton on it. I did this but the button looked like 3D object. Before this I supposed the button to be flat.

I was trying to change color of the button but it still has volume.

from PyQt5 import QtWidgets
class Window(QtWidgets.QWidget):
    def __init__(self):
        QtWidgets.QWidget.__init__(self)
        self.resize(300, 200)
        self.setStyleSheet('background-color: white')
        self.setWindowTitle('Test')
        self.button = QtWidgets.QPushButton('Button')
        self.box = QtWidgets.QVBoxLayout()
        self.box.addWidget(self.button)
        self.setLayout(self.box)
if __name__ == '__main__':
    import sys
    app = QtWidgets.QApplication(sys.argv)
    win = Window()
    win.show()
    sys.exit(app.exec_())

How can I deal with it if I want the window to stay white and the button to be flat?

Any help will be appreciated.

You have to set the flat property of the button to True in addition to removing the border:

from PyQt5 import QtWidgets

qss = """
#Window{ 
    background-color: white 
}
QPushButton[flat="true"]{
    background-color: black;
    border: 0px;
}
"""


class Window(QtWidgets.QWidget):
    def __init__(self, parent=None):
        super(Window, self).__init__(parent)
        self.resize(300, 200)
        self.setObjectName("Window")
        self.setWindowTitle("Test")
        self.button = QtWidgets.QPushButton("Button", flat=True)

        box = QtWidgets.QVBoxLayout(self)
        box.addWidget(self.button)


if __name__ == "__main__":
    import sys

    app = QtWidgets.QApplication(sys.argv)
    app.setStyleSheet(qss)
    win = Window()
    win.show()
    sys.exit(app.exec_())
