In this article we will see how we can create the gradient color to bar of progress bar. Gradient Color : In computer graphics, a color gradient specifies a range of position-dependent colors, usually used to fill a region. For example, many window managers allow the screen background to be specified as a gradient. The colors produced by a gradient vary continuously with position, producing smooth color transitions. Below is how normal bar of progress bar looks vs how gradient color bar of progress bar looks: Style sheet code :

QProgressBar::chunk 
{
background: QLinearGradient( x1: 0, y1: 0,
                             x2: 1, y2: 0, 
                            stop: 0 #000fff,
                            stop: 1 #ff000f );
}

This style sheet is used with the help of setStyleSheet method.

        # setting geometry to progress bar
        bar.setGeometry(200, 150, 200, 30)
 
        # set value to progress bar
        bar.setValue(100)
 
        # setting gradient color to bar

                                                   stop: 1 # ff000f );"
                          "}")

App = QApplication(sys.argv)
 
# create the instance of our Window
window = Window()
 
# start the app
