How to set the padding of QTableView cells through CSS?

Question

Is it possible to define the padding of QTableView cells? I would expect this to be possible using CSS stylesheets, but the documentation does not describe a method to do this.<

Answer 1

I know this is an old question but I've been struggling with this recently.

I found out that by setting

tableView->verticalHeader()->setSectionResizeMode(QHeaderView::ResizeToContents);

the padding set in your CSS will then be applied to the top and bottom of the cell, too!
