TextEdit - How to set text color?

[heng30]

I didn't find a property to set the text color in TextEdit. However, TextInput provides a color property to set the text color. Why TextEdit not?

The idea is to have the standard widgets provide a "native" look on all supported platforms. So we tend to end up with rather small interfaces that we can support across all platforms.

Looks like setting the text color in a TextEdit is not in that set:-(

You can try to file a bug report: Maybe it is just an oversight that we can fix?

Just had a look into QTextEdit documentation and it provides background (QTextedit::textBackgroundColor) and color (QTextEdit::textColor). Making both properties available helps Slint users not having to fully re-implement the TextEdit.
