That stands for white. You should post the code where you *set* the foreground color. — alestanis, Oct 22 '12 at 07:09

If you're using Qt4 you have to use the QPalette class. QPalette stores different colors for different entities on a GUI (text color, background, etc.). It is inherited from the parent widget but can be changed for every widget you have.

QPlainTextEdit *pteEdit; // your text edit
QPalette palette = pteEdit->palette();
QColor textColor = palette.color( QPalette::WindowText );

Read up on the QPalette documentation. It might be a different color role depending on the widget type and there are subtypes. For inactive text, normal text, etc.

mmm! thanx for your answer. but i test it and doesn't work... :( can you help me? — mgh, Oct 22 '12 at 07:05
