Description / Steps to Reproduce

I cannot access palette color of the current style. For example, if I try to access the text color supposed to be light, I get only the dark color from standard light theme.

app = QApplication(sys.argv)
app.setStyleSheet(qdarkstyle.load_stylesheet_pyside2())

# This line should return the light text color of darktheme style.  But it doesn't .
# It returns only the default light theme palette
print(app.palette().color(QPalette.Text).name())

@dridk I do not think that you can get those values from the qpalette. If you need to access the palette programmatically you can use

from qdarkstyle.palette import DarkPalette

Hi, Thanks for your reply . I just swtiched to qtmodern . I think you must follow the same pattern. They first set a QPalette from Python and secondly access colors from qss file using the "palette" keyword .

QGroupBox {
  background-color: palette(alternate-base);
  border: 1px solid palette(midlight);
  margin-top: 25px;
}

So now, I can be agnostic from the style and get color from QPalette.
