Hello,

first thanks for Gambas 3.21.2

I have read the replies you exchanged, Bruces and Benoît.

I added a checkbox for Style.Flat = True or False:

The attached application, in my opinion, does not correspond to what you added
to the wiki in:

https://gambaswiki.org/wiki/comp/gb.qt4/style/flat
and
https://gambaswiki.org/wiki/comp/gb.qt4/style/color

However, now that Style.Flat is True or False, the issue no longer occurs with
the gb.gtk3 and gb.qt5 components!

It only occurs with gb.qt6.

How is it that with gb.qt6, when the control has focus, the color is not
applied?

Modified project attached.

Regards.
