[pyqt maya] Adding padding around Items in a QTreeWidget

Coding
1

I’m working with a simple QTreeWidget inside Maya and i’d like to add a little extra space between the QTreeWidgetItems, i tried setContentsMargins, but the documentation is kinda vague - I can’t tell if they are referring to the margin between the Tree itself and the Layout it is inside of, or if they are referring the amount of space between the items.

QTreeWidgetItems don’t inherit setFixedWidth or setFixedHeight, so i can’t force a height on the items.

Any ideas? Maybe styleSheets?

Thanks.

I haven’t tried this, but can you set the size of the QTreeWidgetItem? http://doc.qt.digia.com/qt/qtreewidgetitem.html#setSizeHint

that worked, i had confused sizeHint with sizePolicy, so i overlooked that. thanks!
