PyQt5 – Background image in Progress Bar

In this article we will see how to set a background image to progress bar. By default there is no background image set to the progress bar, below is how normal progress bar vs progress bar with background image looks like.

In order to do so we have to use The CSS style sheet, below is the code for style sheet.

QProgressBar
{
 background-image : url(image.png);
 border : 1px solid white;
}

This style sheet is used with setStyleSheet method, below is the implementation of the code.

# 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 progress bar
        bar = QProgressBar(self)

        # setting geometry to progress bar
        bar.setGeometry(200, 100, 200, 30)

        # setting the value
        bar.setValue(30)

        # setting alignment to center
        bar.setAlignment(Qt.AlignCenter)

        # setting background
        bar.setStyleSheet(
                          "QProgressBar"
                          "{"
                          "background-image: url(image.png);"
                          " border: 1px solid white;"
                          "} "
                          )

App = QApplication(sys.argv)

# create the instance of our Window
window = Window()

# start the app
sys.exit(App.exec())

Output :
