This is an repost.

I am kind of new in QtDesigner and wanted to do something about the uglyness of just some buttons.

All i have done yesterday was looking on the internet on how to change the background color of a screen in Qt Designer. How to change the color of a button and how to make it flow into another color on the sides. Guess what.

I found nothing.

I hope that some of you die-hard coders know what i need..

EDIT 1: What i mean with a color flowing into another:

Here pink flows into purple, do you get what I mean?
