As far as I know you can make it either via:

tabWidget->setStyleSheet("QTabBar { background-color: red; }"); tabWidget->setDocumentMode(true);

But it doesn't look good.

Or via:

tabWidget->setAutoFillBackground(true); QPalette pal = tabWidget->palette(); pal.setColor(QPalette::Window, Qt::red); tabWidget->setPalette(pal);

Or just create QWidget with some background and insert QTabWidget on top of it.
