Answer 1

Qt style sheets support sub-controls and pseudo states, you can use it to improve your customization. (see http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5/stylesheet-reference.html#list-of-pseudo-states )

In this case you can use the ::item sub-control and the :focus pseudo state (the "current" pseudo state doesn't exist, but the :focus does the same).

This is an example that you can use:

QTableView::item:focus
{
   selection-background-color: yellow;
}
