PyQt5 – Background color of un-checked indicator in Check Box
In this article we will see how to set background color to an indicator of check box when it is in unchecked state. When checked it will revert back to its default form and for unchecked state we can set the background color.
In order to add background color to indicator in un-checked state we have to change the style sheet of the indicator for un-checked state below is the style sheet code.
QCheckBox::indicator:unchecked { background-color : yellow; }
Below is the implementation.
# importing libraries from PyQt5.QtWidgets import * from PyQt5 import QtCore, QtGui from PyQt5.QtGui import * from PyQt5.QtCore import * import sys class Window(QMainWindow): def __init__( self ): super ().__init__() # setting title self .setWindowTitle( "Python " ) # setting geometry self .setGeometry( 100 , 100 , 600 , 400 ) # calling method self .UiComponents() # showing all the widgets self .show() # method for widgets def UiComponents( self ): # creating the check-box checkbox = QCheckBox( 'Geek ?' , self ) # setting geometry of check box checkbox.setGeometry( 200 , 150 , 100 , 30 ) # adding background color to the indicator for unchecked state checkbox.setStyleSheet( "QCheckBox::indicator:unchecked" "{" "background-color : yellow;" "}" ) # create pyqt5 app App = QApplication(sys.argv) # create the instance of our Window window = Window() # start the app sys.exit(App. exec ()) |
