Removing dotted border without setting NoFocus in Windows PyQt

Question

There are a few questions on SO about this, all of which seem to say that the only way to remove the dotted border is to set the focusPolicy on widget/item in question to NoFocu

Answer 1

You can do this with PyQt5:

class Style(QProxyStyle):
    def drawPrimitive(self, element, option, painter, widget):
        if element == QStyle.PE_FrameFocusRect:
            return
        super().drawPrimitive(element, option, painter, widget)

app.setStyle(Style())
